# mySolar vs AR Moon

The clearest difference is price: AR Moon at Free against mySolar's $14.99. AR Moon also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 41%) and ads (none vs shown). mySolar's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (408 vs 4). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

AR Moon is free to download; mySolar costs $14.99 up front. mySolar sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and AR Moon sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

mySolar holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mySolar has 408 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of mySolar's written reviews are positive against 80% of AR Moon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

mySolar ships an update every 3 months, AR Moon fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 8, 2026.
