Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Somnus at none against Moonlight's shown. Somnus also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases 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. Somnus sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Moonlight sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Somnus against 4.9 for Moonlight. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Somnus has 230 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Somnus's written reviews are positive against 90% of Moonlight's.
Somnus ships an update every 6 days, Moonlight every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 1, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
