# iMAK vs Mino

The clearest difference is update cadence: Mino at every 6 days against iMAK's every 6 weeks. Mino also leads on ratings volume (37 vs 2). iMAK's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iMAK sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mino sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iMAK holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mino has 37 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

iMAK ships an update every 6 weeks, Mino every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
