# MiCycle vs Cycle

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cycle at 96% against MiCycle's 48%. Cycle also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). MiCycle's advantage is ratings volume (60 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MiCycle sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Cycle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cycle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MiCycle has 60 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of MiCycle's written reviews are positive against 96% of Cycle's.

MiCycle ships an update every 2 months, Cycle monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
