Sleepiest and Breethe are very similar products; both offering sleep sounds, bedtime stories and sleep meditations designed specifically to help you sleep. But which app is best, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of each? We'll explore this and more in this article...
On the face of it; both apps are fairly similar, with sleep sounds, bedtime stories and sleep meditations being available in both apps.
Between the two; Sleepiest has a larger catalogue of sleep aid content, with over 500 bits of sleep inducing content available. Additionally Sleepiest puts out a larger quantity of sleep content with over 10 new bedtime stories, sleep sounds and meditations being added to the app each and every week.
The quality of the content is comparable between the two apps; with both offering relaxing soundscapes, stories and meditations that are sure to help you get to sleep.
Breethe includes a therapy chat-bot which can be used to help if you struggle with depression or anxiety. Although the automated nature of this service feels a little cold due to the robotic rule-based nature of it, so it's no replacement for a genuine therapy service. This isn't something Sleepiest offers, so if chat-bot therapy if something you're keen to try then Breethe could be worth considering.
Sleepiest offers sleep courses, a sleep sound creation tool, and passive sleep tracking; all features that Breethe doesn't offer.
We feel the sleep tracking in particular is a vital ingredient that makes Sleepiest stand above Breethe's offering.
Sleepiest's passive sleep tracking uses the historical movement data of your phone (only once you give it permission of course), meaning it can show you not only how you're sleeping after you started using Sleepiest; but also how you slept in the week before using Sleepiest. This allows both you and us to see the tangible impact Sleepiest is having on your sleep, and allows us to focus on sleep content that we know is tangible improving your sleep based on your sleep data.
This level of transparency can give you the confidence to know Sleepiest is actually helping improve your sleep. In fact; we know from our current customers who have passive sleep tracking enabled that the average amount of sleep you'll get after starting to use Sleepiest is a staggering 29 minutes more each night compared to the week before using us!
Sleepiest sleep sound creation tool also allows you to craft a perfect soundscape tailor made for you based on the sounds you like the most; something our customers love.
The cost of Breethe is $89.99/yr or $12.99/mo. Compared to Sleepiest's $49.99/yr and $9.99/mo Breethe is a fair bit more expensive. Both apps however offer a 7 day free trial allowing you to explore their extended premium libraries for a week before paying.
Sleepiest on the other hand has an extensive catalogue of entirely free content that is accessible without requiring you to start a free trial, or subscribe. Most of our users use Sleepiest without ever needing to pay with over 100+ sleep sounds, stories, meditations, podcast episodes and basic sleep tracking all available without subscribing or starting a trial!
Both Sleepiest and Breethe have been downloaded by millions of users around the world. Both are also highly rated; with the vast majority of users rating both apps 5 stars.

Sleepiest offers a much wider range of specialized sleep tools including sleep tracking, sleep courses, a sleep sound creation tool allowing you to craft a sleep soundscape specific to you.

Breethe however does include a therapy chat-bot to help it's users better deal with anxiety and depression. If this is a tool that's specifically important to you then Breethe could be worth considering.
The cost of Breethe is quite significantly higher than that of Sleepiest however... So given the smaller content offering and narrower range of features; it's hard to recommend Breethe for anyone except those who feel a therapy chat-bot it worth an additional $40/yr.
