# Mills vs Dominant Mind Code Breaker

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Dominant Mind Code Breaker at 7.2K against Mills's 72. Dominant Mind Code Breaker also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mills sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Dominant Mind Code Breaker sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dominant Mind Code Breaker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dominant Mind Code Breaker has 7.2K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Mills's written reviews are positive against 68% of Dominant Mind Code Breaker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
