Both are free to download. SimpleMind sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GetGoen sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GetGoen holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SimpleMind has 981 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of SimpleMind's written reviews are positive against 100% of GetGoen's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
