Moptu combines the power of social media and personal curation to end the tyranny of news feeds and social algorithms that make decisions for you about what you should (or shouldn’t) read. We believe that the best way to find the very best articles about news is to have them crowd sourced and brought to you by a pool of people who care the way you care. Traditional social media is great, but the big platforms rely on algorithms, are agenda driven, and your feed is constantly littered with memes, status updates, pictures and lots of other forms of social media noise. Aggregators are great but, they are impersonal, less fun, and don’t have the personal touch. Moptu is the better way. It was founded, and is run, by childhood friends Josh Namm and Charles Haspel. Like everyone else, we get our news online, but in this era of misinformation, misleading stories, and privacy concerns, we found that it was increasingly difficult to consistently find and share unbiased, substantive information. As tech lovers and avid news junkies, we envisioned a destination that makes it fun and easy for people to discover, share, discuss and organize information from sources they trust, without having to navigate through bias and the general ‘noise’ that is associated with typical social media. We sincerely believe that a platform that puts the power to share news socially back into the hands of individuals will help our society be better informed, and therefore less fractured. Our goal is to empower you to inform, unite and educate. Our users post articles about every imaginable topic throughout the day: politics, entertainment, recipes, wellness, science etc. Because all of our articles are posted by regular people, you truly get news from all sides, far outside of the echo chamber of other news and social media platforms. Users like you post a lot, so our content is always changing. Love sports but hate politics? Hate politics but love recipes? Love politics, recipes, and sports? Follow all of your interests on Moptu! Features • Users can create unlimited customizable topics to share articles, organize pages and making it easy and hassle free to find articles on someone’s page! • Our topics, coupled with the fact that Moptu never deletes your links, ensures that your articles never get lost, allowing you to effortlessly look back through your search history, repost, and ‘give life’ to old articles. • Moptu enables you to search articles with keywords and your search results immediately show articles themselves (instead of just titles). Ready to start? Some last bits of info. • We're passionate about this. We're devoted to bringing you the best possible way to share news with friends, family & people you trust. • We plan on updating the app frequently, so get ready for more exciting features. • You can also be a part of the Moptu community on the desktop/mobile sites at: moptu.com

Moptu's advantage is ratings volume (42 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
