# MWeb vs Craft

The clearest difference is rating: Craft at 4.8 against MWeb's 4.5. Craft also leads on ratings volume (6.6K vs 153) and review sentiment (85% vs 67%). MWeb's advantage is iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MWeb sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and Craft sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Craft holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Craft has 6.6K ratings behind it against 153, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of MWeb's written reviews are positive against 85% of Craft's.

MWeb ships an update every 3 weeks, Craft every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
