# X vs Mysa

The clearest difference is rating: X at 5.0 against Mysa's 3.8. X also leads on review sentiment (58% vs 30%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Mysa's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (575 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

X holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mysa has 575 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of X's written reviews are positive against 30% of Mysa's.

X ships an update every 9 months, Mysa every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
