# MoshUp vs Effect 01

The clearest difference is rating: Effect 01 at 5.0 against MoshUp's 4.5. Effect 01 also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). MoshUp's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MoshUp sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Effect 01 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Effect 01 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MoshUp has 1.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MoshUp ships an update every 2 months, Effect 01 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 18, 2026 respectively.
