Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mindlist at 4.7 against A Basic Girls Guide's 3.7. Mindlist also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 3). A Basic Girls Guide's advantage is iOS requirement (14.2 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mindlist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and A Basic Girls Guide sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mindlist holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mindlist has 1.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Mindlist's written reviews are positive against 81% of A Basic Girls Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mindlist ships an update fortnightly, A Basic Girls Guide every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
