# Random Moai Defense vs Shapers

The clearest difference is rating: Shapers at 5.0 against Random Moai Defense's 4.6. Random Moai Defense's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Random Moai Defense sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Shapers sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shapers holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Random Moai Defense has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Random Moai Defense's written reviews are positive against 84% of Shapers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Random Moai Defense ships an update every 9 days, Shapers fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
