# Meteor vs Minimo

The clearest difference is ads: Minimo at none against Meteor's shown. Minimo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). Meteor's advantage is ratings volume (139 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meteor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Minimo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Minimo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meteor has 139 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Meteor's written reviews are positive against 100% of Minimo's.

Meteor ships an update every 10 days, Minimo weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
