# Textmoji vs Patterns

The clearest difference is price: Textmoji at Free against Patterns's $4.99. Textmoji also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). Patterns's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Textmoji is free to download; Patterns costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Textmoji against 5.0 for Patterns. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Textmoji has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Textmoji ships an update every 12 months, Patterns monthly. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
