# Float vs Moment

The clearest difference is update cadence: Moment at fortnightly against Float's every 6 months. Moment also leads on ratings volume (21 vs 3) and device support (5 vs 3). Float's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and review sentiment (95% vs 79%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Float sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Moment sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Float against 4.9 for Moment. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moment has 21 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 95% of Float's written reviews are positive against 79% of Moment's.

Float ships an update every 6 months, Moment fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
