Both are free to download. LiveUp sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and LinkMind sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LiveUp holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiveUp has 21 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of LiveUp's written reviews are positive against 100% of LinkMind's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LiveUp ships an update weekly, LinkMind every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
