# Connected2.me vs Minty

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Minty at 72% against Connected2.me's 23%. Minty also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Connected2.me's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (31K vs 12). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Connected2.me sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $15.49 per 7 days. Minty asks for nothing beyond the download.

Connected2.me holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Connected2.me has 31K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Connected2.me's written reviews are positive against 72% of Minty's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Connected2.me ships an update fortnightly, Minty every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
