Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tape at none against Moonkie's 2. Tape also leads on ratings volume (61 vs 1). Moonkie's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
