Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mintyn at 4.4 against Aku's 3.8. Mintyn also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (334 vs 20). Aku's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 46%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mintyn holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mintyn has 334 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Mintyn's written reviews are positive against 67% of Aku's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mintyn ships an update every 11 days, Aku fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
