# Inclr vs Xmind

The clearest difference is rating: Xmind at 4.8 against Inclr's 3.8. Xmind also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (7K vs 27). Inclr's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inclr sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Xmind sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Xmind holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xmind has 7K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Inclr's written reviews are positive against 76% of Xmind's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
