Checked on
The short answer
Both apps do the same core job: you record a dream by voice or text, an AI reading asks you questions back, and a weekly view shows what recurs. Dreamly adds AI dream images, light lucid-dreaming tools, 11 languages and a track record since 2023, and sells subscriptions, with three free analyses for new users. MysticLab is free with no in-app purchases and keeps its servers in the EU, but it is new, its iPhone app is English-only and not yet in EU App Stores, and it has no images, lucid tools or export.
