# Lucidchart vs GitMind

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GitMind at 77% against Lucidchart's 21%. GitMind also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Lucidchart's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 17). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lucidchart sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and GitMind sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $9.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lucidchart holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lucidchart has 5.3K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Lucidchart's written reviews are positive against 77% of GitMind's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lucidchart ships an update every 2 months, GitMind fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
