Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Hello Loona is free to download; Make A Martian costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hello Loona holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Make A Martian has 7K ratings behind it against 233, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Make A Martian's written reviews are positive against 62% of Hello Loona's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Make A Martian ships an update every 108 months, Hello Loona every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
