# HyperCatcher vs Mint Pod

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mint Pod at 100% against HyperCatcher's 63%. Mint Pod also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). HyperCatcher's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HyperCatcher sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month and Mint Pod sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mint Pod holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1.
