# Cliff vs MindStep

The clearest difference is rating: MindStep at 5.0 against Cliff's 4.2. Cliff's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 51 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

MindStep holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cliff has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Cliff's written reviews are positive against 77% of MindStep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cliff ships an update every 4 months, MindStep every 51 months. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
