# iMolview vs VisualMind

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iMolview at 78% against VisualMind's 23%. iMolview also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). VisualMind's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and rating (4.5 vs 3.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

VisualMind is free to download; iMolview costs $0.99 up front. VisualMind sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per 7 days. iMolview asks for nothing beyond the download.

VisualMind holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VisualMind has 3.3K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of iMolview's written reviews are positive against 23% of VisualMind's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iMolview ships an update every 2 months, VisualMind every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
