ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mochi holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mochi has 175 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Mochi's written reviews are positive against 100% of Deck's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mochi ships an update monthly, Deck every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
