Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Moku at none against spacedesk's 11. Moku also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). spacedesk's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 6) and review sentiment (71% vs 50%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. spacedesk sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Moku asks for nothing beyond the download.
Moku holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: spacedesk has 2.2K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of spacedesk's written reviews are positive against 50% of Moku's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
spacedesk ships an update every 3 weeks, Moku every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
