Pick Mantra if
Mantra has been on the App Store since 2017 and covers a lot of the same ground as Attraya: a daily affirmation, categories, custom collections and reminders.
- You want the cheapest way in. Its in-app purchases start at $4.99.
- You want to record your own voice and play it back, which Attraya does not do.
- You want ambient sounds and a lot of visual themes to customise.
- You need one of the 10 languages it lists, beyond the five Attraya covers.
Pick Attraya if
The two apps overlap on the basics, so the honest difference is what sits on top of them.
- You want Amplify, which keeps one affirmation repeating in the background around the clock.
- You want an original library rather than a collected one: 2,188 lines in each of five languages, across 33 themes.
- You want a lower ceiling. Attraya's in-app purchases stop at $49.99 and Mantra's reach $74.99.
- You want the free tarot, numerology and moon tools on this site alongside the app.
Looking for a Mantra alternative?
This is the closest comparison on the list, so be honest with yourself about what is missing. If it is the price, Mantra is cheaper to start and staying is fine. If it is that your affirmation disappears the moment you close the app, that is exactly the gap Amplify fills, and there is a page on how Amplify works. You can also try everything free on this site without installing anything. There is also a guide to putting an affirmation on your home screen.
Common questions
