Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Gituru at monthly against One Minute Changes's every 12 months. Gituru also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (920 vs 114). One Minute Changes's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 48%) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 14.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Gituru holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gituru has 920 ratings behind it against 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of One Minute Changes's written reviews are positive against 48% of Gituru's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
One Minute Changes ships an update every 12 months, Gituru monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
