Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: mymind at free with in-app purchases against Paste's subscription. mymind also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Paste's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 417). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Paste sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and mymind sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Paste holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.3K and 417 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Paste's written reviews are positive against 59% of mymind's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Paste ships an update weekly, mymind every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
