# Mindgrasp vs TLDL

Mindgrasp and TLDL both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of TLDL's written reviews are positive against 31% of Mindgrasp's. TLDL also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mindgrasp sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and TLDL sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Mindgrasp against 4.8 for TLDL. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TLDL has 7.3K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 31% of Mindgrasp's written reviews are positive against 73% of TLDL's.

Mindgrasp ships an update every 3 weeks, TLDL every 10 days. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
