# Mindcop vs Nightgate

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nightgate at 83% against Mindcop's 46%. Nightgate also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Mindcop's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (374 vs 21). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mindcop sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Nightgate sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mindcop holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mindcop has 374 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Mindcop's written reviews are positive against 83% of Nightgate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
