# MIND MGMT Assistant vs Clue

The clearest difference is price: MIND MGMT Assistant at Free against Clue's $4.99. MIND MGMT Assistant also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 27) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Clue's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

MIND MGMT Assistant is free to download; Clue costs $4.99 up front. Clue sells 26 one-off in-app purchases. MIND MGMT Assistant asks for nothing beyond the download.

Clue holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clue has 4K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of MIND MGMT Assistant's written reviews are positive against 59% of Clue's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MIND MGMT Assistant ships an update every 9 months, Clue every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
