Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: MongoPie at Free against MongoLime's $9.99. MongoPie also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). MongoLime's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (65 vs 8). On review sentiment, ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MongoPie holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MongoLime has 65 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of MongoLime's written reviews are positive against 80% of MongoPie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MongoLime ships an update every 4 months, MongoPie every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
