Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: mymind at 4.0 against XRead's 3.5. mymind also leads on ratings volume (417 vs 2). XRead's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. mymind sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and XRead sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

mymind holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mymind has 417 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of mymind's written reviews are positive against 67% of XRead's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

mymind ships an update every 3 weeks, XRead monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 14, 2026 respectively.
