# Alight Motion vs Inkroy

The clearest difference is rating: Inkroy at 5.0 against Alight Motion's 4.4. Inkroy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 62%) and ads (none vs shown). Alight Motion's advantage is ratings volume (78K vs 7) and chart position (#61 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alight Motion sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Inkroy sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Inkroy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alight Motion has 78K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Alight Motion's written reviews are positive against 100% of Inkroy's.

Alight Motion ships an update fortnightly, Inkroy every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
