Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Mopiq at 1.4K against Guru's 3. Guru's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mopiq sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Guru sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Mopiq against 4.7 for Guru. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mopiq has 1.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mopiq ships an update weekly, Guru every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
