# Primed Mind vs Arcletic

The clearest difference is ads: Primed Mind at none against Arcletic's shown. Primed Mind also leads on ratings volume (509 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Primed Mind sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Arcletic sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Primed Mind against 5.0 for Arcletic. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Primed Mind has 509 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Primed Mind ships an update fortnightly, Arcletic every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
