Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Moonwalk at none against LaunchX's 2. Moonwalk also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). LaunchX's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LaunchX sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Moonwalk asks for nothing beyond the download.
Moonwalk holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Moonwalk's written reviews are positive against 100% of LaunchX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Moonwalk ships an update every 5 months, LaunchX every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
