# Live Minder vs PERSISTENT Reminder

The clearest difference is update cadence: Live Minder at every 3 days against PERSISTENT Reminder's every 5 weeks. Live Minder also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (100 vs 3). PERSISTENT Reminder's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Live Minder sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and PERSISTENT Reminder sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
