# Trouble Tree vs MindAware

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Trouble Tree at 100% against MindAware's 75%. Trouble Tree also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). MindAware's advantage is ratings volume (92 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trouble Tree sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and MindAware sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Trouble Tree holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MindAware has 92 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Trouble Tree's written reviews are positive against 75% of MindAware's.

Trouble Tree ships an update fortnightly, MindAware weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 7, 2026 and August 28, 2026 respectively.
