# Impulse vs Infinite Mind

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Infinite Mind at 100% against Impulse's 69%. Infinite Mind also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). Impulse's advantage is ratings volume (849K vs 159) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Impulse sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Infinite Mind sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Infinite Mind holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Impulse has 849K ratings behind it against 159, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of Impulse's written reviews are positive against 100% of Infinite Mind's.

Impulse ships an update every 6 days, Infinite Mind fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
