Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MindNode at none against Evenly's shown. MindNode also leads on device support (5 vs 1). Evenly's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
