Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BetterMind holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Q interactive Assess has 89 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of BetterMind's written reviews are positive against 9% of Q interactive Assess's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
