Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Flashcard Max at every 5 days against Mochi's monthly. Mochi's advantage is ratings volume (175 vs 28). On price, rating, review sentiment 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mochi holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mochi has 175 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Flashcard Max's written reviews are positive against 81% of Mochi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Flashcard Max ships an update every 5 days, Mochi monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
