Both are free to download. BeNarative sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Moblin sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for BeNarative against 4.8 for Moblin. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moblin has 76 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.
