# Check Up vs MiniiMe

The clearest difference is update cadence: MiniiMe at every 2 days against Check Up's every 6 months. Check Up's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Check Up sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and MiniiMe sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 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 — 5.0 for Check Up against 5.0 for MiniiMe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Check Up has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Check Up ships an update every 6 months, MiniiMe every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
