Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: TouchMind at none against MindLine Mind Map's shown. TouchMind also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). MindLine Mind Map's advantage is ratings volume (204 vs 37). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases 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. MindLine Mind Map sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and TouchMind sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TouchMind holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MindLine Mind Map has 204 ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of MindLine Mind Map's written reviews are positive against 86% of TouchMind's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
