# Funnel vs Mind Map with Brainstorm/AI

The clearest difference is ads: Funnel at none against Mind Map with Brainstorm/AI's shown. Funnel also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (43 vs 5). Mind Map with Brainstorm/AI's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Funnel sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Mind Map with Brainstorm/AI sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Funnel holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Funnel has 43 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Funnel's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mind Map with Brainstorm/AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Funnel ships an update every 6 weeks, Mind Map with Brainstorm/AI every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
