In Hamburg, MOIA gets you to your destination with ease, whether you’re heading to the central station, your train, or your favorite spot in the city. Leave your car behind, book your ride in the app, and pay by credit card, PayPal, or Apple Pay. If you usually ride a bike or scooter, our fully electric MOIA is a locally emission-free alternative – with no transfers on public transport and no hunting for a parking space. Instead, you’ll get privacy seats, Wi-Fi, and USB ports to charge your devices. You’ll share the ride with up to five others, which keeps things affordable. The app shows the price, pickup spot, and estimated arrival time before you book. That saves you the stress – and here’s how it works: • Download the MOIA app and sign up • Enter your starting point and destination • Add a credit card, PayPal, or Apple Pay account • Request and book your ride • Get picked up at a stop near you • Share your ride! What’s so great about it? It’s simple: up to six people going in the same direction ride together – the perfect alternative alongside trains and public transport for trips that would otherwise be driven individually. Our vision: cities with more space and fewer emissions. MOIA’s benefits for everyone: • Relaxed, comfortable, safe rides • Privacy seats, Wi-Fi, and USB ports • Fully electric and quiet rides through the city • No stress, no transfers, no parking hassle • 100 % locally emission-free, no exhaust emissions during the ride • Easy to book via app from almost anywhere • Price and arrival time shown before booking • Nearby stops and short waiting times Got questions or feedback?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MOIA at 95% against ÜSTRA easy's 30%. MOIA also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). ÜSTRA easy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
