# Deepstash vs VisualMind

The clearest difference is update cadence: Deepstash at every 4 days against VisualMind's every 3 weeks. Deepstash also leads on ratings volume (72K vs 3.3K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deepstash sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and VisualMind sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Deepstash holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deepstash has 72K ratings behind it against 3.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of Deepstash's written reviews are positive against 23% of VisualMind's.

Deepstash ships an update every 4 days, VisualMind every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
