# MIPC vs Jawa

The clearest difference is rating: MIPC at 2.1 against Jawa's 1.5. MIPC also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 79). Jawa's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MIPC sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Jawa asks for nothing beyond the download.

MIPC holds the better App Store score, 2.1 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MIPC has 2.2K ratings behind it against 79, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 16% of MIPC's written reviews are positive against 13% of Jawa's.

MIPC ships an update fortnightly, Jawa monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
