Verdict

The call

Lucidchart and MindFlow both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 69% of MindFlow's written reviews are positive against 21% of Lucidchart's. MindFlow also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Lucidchart's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 33). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lucidchart sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and MindFlow sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lucidchart holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lucidchart has 5.3K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Lucidchart's written reviews are positive against 69% of MindFlow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lucidchart ships an update every 2 months, MindFlow every 17 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
