# Argus vs MoveX

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Argus at 82% against MoveX's 30%. Argus also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (36K vs 417). MoveX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Argus sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and MoveX sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Argus holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Argus has 36K ratings behind it against 417, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Argus's written reviews are positive against 30% of MoveX's.

Argus ships an update monthly, MoveX every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
