# Mindlist vs DigiScan

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Mindlist at 1.6K against DigiScan's 1. Mindlist also leads on device support (3 vs 1). DigiScan's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

DigiScan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mindlist has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
