Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: A1 at 68% against MOE UAE's 25%. A1 also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). MOE UAE's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 24 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MOE UAE holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MOE UAE has 200 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of A1's written reviews are positive against 25% of MOE UAE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
A1 ships an update every 24 months, MOE UAE monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
