# BePresent vs Mind Partner

The clearest difference is monetization model: BePresent at free with in-app purchases against Mind Partner's subscription. BePresent also leads on ratings volume (72K vs 7) and chart position (#40 vs unranked). Mind Partner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BePresent sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Mind Partner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $16.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mind Partner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BePresent has 72K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 69% of BePresent's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mind Partner's.

BePresent ships an update every 5 days, Mind Partner every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
