# MobilEM vs STAT EM

The clearest difference is review sentiment: STAT EM at 100% against MobilEM's 45%. STAT EM also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6). MobilEM's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (39 vs 6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MobilEM sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and STAT EM sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

STAT EM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MobilEM has 39 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of MobilEM's written reviews are positive against 100% of STAT EM's.

MobilEM ships an update every 2 months, STAT EM every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
