# MindKeep Pro vs Archiva

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Archiva at none against MindKeep Pro's 11. Archiva also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). MindKeep Pro's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MindKeep Pro sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Archiva asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for MindKeep Pro against 5.0 for Archiva. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MindKeep Pro has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MindKeep Pro ships an update monthly, Archiva every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
