# La Crosse View vs Minimums

The clearest difference is rating: Minimums at 5.0 against La Crosse View's 4.1. Minimums also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). La Crosse View's advantage is ratings volume (82K vs 1) and chart position (#55 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. La Crosse View sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Minimums sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Minimums holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: La Crosse View has 82K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

La Crosse View ships an update every 2 months, Minimums every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
