Both are free to download. Mind Map Maker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $35.99 per 6 months. MinDgo 9 asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mind Map Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mind Map Maker has 473 ratings behind it against 1, 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 80% of MinDgo 9'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, MinDgo 9 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
