Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: mocopi at 3.7 against MakeAvatar's 2.5. mocopi also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). MakeAvatar's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

mocopi holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24 and 39 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of MakeAvatar's written reviews are positive against 40% of mocopi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MakeAvatar ships an update every 3 weeks, mocopi every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 22, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
