# iMotion vs FB

The clearest difference is rating: iMotion at 4.5 against FB's 3.1. iMotion also leads on ratings volume (2.9K vs 28) and review sentiment (73% vs 56%). FB's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iMotion sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. FB asks for nothing beyond the download.

iMotion holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iMotion has 2.9K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of iMotion's written reviews are positive against 56% of FB's.

iMotion ships an update every 2 months, FB every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
