# MONIE (モニー) vs Dawns

The clearest difference is rating: Dawns at 5.0 against MONIE (モニー)'s 4.4. Dawns also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks). MONIE (モニー)'s advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 50%) and ratings volume (25 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MONIE (モニー) sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month and Dawns sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dawns holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MONIE (モニー) has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of MONIE (モニー)'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Dawns's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MONIE (モニー) ships an update every 6 weeks, Dawns every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
