# MoonBox vs Overbeast

The clearest difference is rating: MoonBox at 4.0 against Overbeast's 3.8. MoonBox also leads on ratings volume (248 vs 18) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.2). Overbeast's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MoonBox sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Overbeast sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MoonBox holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MoonBox has 248 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of MoonBox's written reviews are positive against 67% of Overbeast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MoonBox ships an update every 3 weeks, Overbeast weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 20, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
