Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MoriArashi at none against MeltLand's 5. MoriArashi also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 59%). MeltLand's advantage is ratings volume (242 vs 19). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MeltLand sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. MoriArashi asks for nothing beyond the download.
MeltLand holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MeltLand has 242 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of MeltLand's written reviews are positive against 80% of MoriArashi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MeltLand ships an update fortnightly, MoriArashi every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
