Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
XMcosy+ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XMcosy+ has 1.1K ratings behind it against 83, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of XMcosy+'s written reviews are positive against 18% of CloudyBay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
XMcosy+ ships an update every 5 months, CloudyBay every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
