# Dōan vs MindTime

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dōan at none against MindTime's 2. MindTime's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MindTime sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Dōan asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Dōan against 4.9 for MindTime. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MindTime has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
