# Bedtime Stories vs Mina

The clearest difference is ads: Mina at none against Bedtime Stories's shown. Mina also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Bedtime Stories's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 5). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bedtime Stories sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Mina sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.8 for Bedtime Stories against 3.8 for Mina. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bedtime Stories has 37 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
