When Lymphi is still the better pick
Someone who prefers quick, illustration-guided routines over video, is on a recent iPhone, and mainly cares about face depuffing.
Common questions
Does Lymphi use real videos? +
Lymphi's website describes its routines as clear illustrations with timers, explicitly noting no video is required. Its App Store text mentions technique videos, but the site is the more specific source. LymphFlow's routines are filmed video with a voiceover throughout.
Why does Lymphi need iOS 18.6? +
The developer set an unusually high minimum OS version, which excludes many older iPhones. LymphFlow runs on iOS 15.1 and up.
Is Lymphi or LymphFlow better for full-body drainage? +
LymphFlow. Lymphi is face-first with some additional flows, while LymphFlow has dedicated routine libraries for face, tummy, legs and arms plus a custom session builder.
Make the switch in five minutes
The drainage principles are identical, so nothing you learned is wasted. LymphFlow's videos will mostly refine your technique.

Bloat Down alternative
AI face scanning
Bloat Down had a head start, but it has been standing still for a year. LymphFlow ships regularly and treats the routines themselves, filmed, narrated, and covering your whole body, as the product.

UNBLOAT alternative
AI face scanning
UNBLOAT tracks your face with photos and gives you a few five-minute routines. LymphFlow flips that ratio: the guided routines are the whole product, filmed properly, narrated calmly, and covering your body from face to legs.

NoBloat alternative
AI face scanning
NoBloat gives you a number. LymphFlow gives you a routine. Real filmed drainage videos with a voiceover, your whole body covered, and no third-party AI looking at your face.

Glowsy alternative
Guided massage
Glowsy had the right instinct: guided drainage, not AI scores. LymphFlow takes that instinct further, with filmed video routines, a calm voiceover, full-body coverage, and an app that actually gets updated.

Lymfa alternative
Guided massage
Lymfa is the nearest neighbor on paper. Where LymphFlow pulls ahead is craft: production quality of the videos, a calm voiceover throughout, a custom session builder, a mood journal, and a design you look forward to opening.
