# Finalist vs MYNDIFY

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MYNDIFY at 100% against Finalist's 76%. MYNDIFY also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Finalist's advantage is ratings volume (499 vs 8) and chart position (#166 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Finalist sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and MYNDIFY sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
