# Moosti vs MindNode

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Moosti at 100% against MindNode's 48%. Moosti also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). MindNode's advantage is ratings volume (305 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moosti sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and MindNode sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Moosti holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MindNode has 305 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Moosti's written reviews are positive against 48% of MindNode's.

Moosti ships an update weekly, MindNode fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
