# LiveUp vs LinkMind

The clearest difference is rating: LiveUp at 4.7 against LinkMind's 3.7. LiveUp also leads on ratings volume (21 vs 3). LinkMind's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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.

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.

LiveUp ships an update weekly, LinkMind every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
