Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
minimize costs $2.99 and Oberty $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Oberty holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: minimize has 193 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of minimize's written reviews are positive against 67% of Oberty's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
minimize ships an update every 3 months, Oberty every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
