# MOMO陌陌 vs CNU

The clearest difference is price: MOMO陌陌 at Free against CNU's $3.99. MOMO陌陌 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (13K vs 5). CNU's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

MOMO陌陌 is free to download; CNU costs $3.99 up front. MOMO陌陌 sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. CNU asks for nothing beyond the download.

MOMO陌陌 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MOMO陌陌 has 13K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of MOMO陌陌's written reviews are positive against 73% of CNU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MOMO陌陌 ships an update weekly, CNU every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
