# BoxOrganizer vs Minvy

The clearest difference is monetization model: Minvy at free with in-app purchases against BoxOrganizer's subscription. Minvy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (70% vs 62%). BoxOrganizer's advantage is ratings volume (146 vs 5) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BoxOrganizer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Minvy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Minvy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BoxOrganizer has 146 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of BoxOrganizer's written reviews are positive against 70% of Minvy's.

BoxOrganizer ships an update every 10 days, Minvy every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
