# Mindset GO! vs TED Tumblewords

The clearest difference is rating: TED Tumblewords at 4.7 against Mindset GO!'s 3.8. TED Tumblewords also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (601 vs 41). Mindset GO!'s advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 58%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mindset GO! sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and TED Tumblewords sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TED Tumblewords holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TED Tumblewords has 601 ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Mindset GO!'s written reviews are positive against 58% of TED Tumblewords's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mindset GO! ships an update every 2 weeks, TED Tumblewords every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
