# MotionBook vs Motion Graphics Linearity Move

The clearest difference is ratings volume: MotionBook at 3.6K against Motion Graphics Linearity Move's 165. Motion Graphics Linearity Move's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MotionBook sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Motion Graphics Linearity Move sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. 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 MotionBook against 4.6 for Motion Graphics Linearity Move. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MotionBook has 3.6K ratings behind it against 165, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of MotionBook's written reviews are positive against 61% of Motion Graphics Linearity Move's.
