# Buffer vs Trailmoji

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Trailmoji at none against Buffer's 12. Trailmoji also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Buffer's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Buffer sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Trailmoji asks for nothing beyond the download.

Buffer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buffer has 34K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 55% and 55% positive.

Buffer ships an update every 5 days, Trailmoji every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
