# MrOwl vs PieCloud

The clearest difference is rating: PieCloud at 5.0 against MrOwl's 4.7. PieCloud also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 89%). MrOwl's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MrOwl sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and PieCloud sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PieCloud holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MrOwl has 26 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of MrOwl's written reviews are positive against 100% of PieCloud's.

MrOwl ships an update every 6 weeks, PieCloud every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on June 1, 2026.
