# Mino vs Plan Universe

The clearest difference is rating: Plan Universe at 5.0 against Mino's 4.7. Mino's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 27.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mino sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Plan Universe sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Plan Universe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mino has 37 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Mino ships an update every 6 days, Plan Universe every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
