Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Mindz Pro at $2.99 against SimpleMind Pro's $10.99. Mindz Pro also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 81%). SimpleMind Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (451 vs 7). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SimpleMind Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SimpleMind Pro has 451 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of SimpleMind Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mindz Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SimpleMind Pro ships an update every 2 months, Mindz Pro every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
