Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mindful Patch at 67% against MyPatch's 29%. Mindful Patch also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). MyPatch's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MyPatch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mindful Patch has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of MyPatch's written reviews are positive against 67% of Mindful Patch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyPatch ships an update every 9 days, Mindful Patch every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
