Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MUBI at 4.7 against A24's 3.6. MUBI also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 22%) and ratings volume (11K vs 206). A24's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MUBI sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and A24 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MUBI holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MUBI has 11K ratings behind it against 206, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of MUBI's written reviews are positive against 22% of A24's.
MUBI ships an update weekly, A24 every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
