# NativeScript Preview vs fullmoon

The clearest difference is review sentiment: fullmoon at 78% against NativeScript Preview's 19%. fullmoon also leads on ratings volume (100 vs 5) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). NativeScript Preview's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

NativeScript Preview holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: fullmoon has 100 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of NativeScript Preview's written reviews are positive against 78% of fullmoon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

NativeScript Preview ships an update every 3 weeks, fullmoon every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
