# Likee vs Alight Motion

The clearest difference is ads: Likee at none against Alight Motion's shown. Likee also leads on ratings volume (564K vs 81K). Alight Motion's advantage is review sentiment (62% vs 52%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Likee sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Alight Motion sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Likee against 4.4 for Alight Motion. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Likee has 564K ratings behind it against 81K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 52% of Likee's written reviews are positive against 62% of Alight Motion's.

Likee ships an update weekly, Alight Motion fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
