# Mindlist vs To

The clearest difference is ads: Mindlist at none against To's shown. Mindlist also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 9) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mindlist sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and To sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Mindlist against 4.6 for To. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mindlist has 1.6K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of Mindlist's written reviews are positive against 73% of To's.

Mindlist ships an update fortnightly, To every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
