Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Mind Map Maker at 474 against Mind Map's 7. Mind Map Maker also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mind Map Maker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $35.99 per 6 months and Mind Map sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
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 474 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% 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.
Mind Map Maker ships an update every 9 days, Mind Map weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
