# Pomocat vs Mofu

The clearest difference is ads: Mofu at none against Pomocat's shown. Mofu also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). Pomocat's advantage is ratings volume (534 vs 4) and review sentiment (94% vs 80%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pomocat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Mofu sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
