Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LinkMind at 5.0 against LiveUp's 4.7. LinkMind also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). LiveUp's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LiveUp sells 3 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.
LinkMind holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiveUp has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of LiveUp's written reviews are positive against 100% of LinkMind's.
LiveUp ships an update fortnightly, LinkMind every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
