# MindAware vs SPLIT

The clearest difference is monetization model: SPLIT at free with in-app purchases against MindAware's subscription. SPLIT also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). MindAware's advantage is ratings volume (92 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MindAware sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and SPLIT sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SPLIT 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MindAware ships an update weekly, SPLIT every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
