# Limitless vs Mindsnap

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Limitless at 100% against Mindsnap's 48%. Limitless also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Mindsnap's advantage is ratings volume (297 vs 7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Limitless sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Mindsnap sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Limitless holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mindsnap has 297 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Limitless's written reviews are positive against 48% of Mindsnap's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
