The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Mind Map Maker at 469 against Mind Map's 7. Mind Map Maker also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). Mind Map's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mind Map holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mind Map Maker has 469 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Mind Map Maker's written reviews are positive against 70% of Mind Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mind Map Maker ships an update every 9 days, Mind Map weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
