# Cake5 vs Mind the Signal

The clearest difference is ads: Cake5 at none against Mind the Signal's shown. Cake5 also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Mind the Signal's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cake5 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Mind the Signal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cake5 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Cake5's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mind the Signal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
