# Micro vs Mindlift

The clearest difference is rating: Mindlift at 4.7 against Micro's 2.0. Mindlift also leads on ratings volume (356 vs 1). Micro's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Micro sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mindlift sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mindlift holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mindlift has 356 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
