Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mimpi at 4.5 against Mimelet's 3.9. Mimpi also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 10 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mimpi sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Mimelet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mimpi holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mimpi has 806 ratings behind it against 93, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Mimpi's written reviews are positive against 79% of Mimelet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mimpi ships an update monthly, Mimelet every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
