# Legacy Academy vs VisualMind

Legacy Academy and VisualMind both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of Legacy Academy's written reviews are positive against 23% of VisualMind's. VisualMind's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 161). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Legacy Academy sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $19.00 per month and VisualMind sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Legacy Academy against 4.5 for VisualMind. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VisualMind has 3.3K ratings behind it against 161, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Legacy Academy's written reviews are positive against 23% of VisualMind's.

Legacy Academy ships an update every 2 weeks, VisualMind every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
