# Sumizeit vs MindBites

The clearest difference is rating: MindBites at 5.0 against Sumizeit's 4.5. MindBites also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Sumizeit's advantage is ratings volume (282 vs 2) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 8 days). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sumizeit sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year and MindBites sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
