Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ITMO at 100% against Moonlitt's 70%. ITMO also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). Moonlitt's advantage is ratings volume (984 vs 8) and chart position (#77 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moonlitt sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and ITMO sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ITMO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moonlitt has 984 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Moonlitt's written reviews are positive against 100% of ITMO's.
Moonlitt ships an update every 11 days, ITMO every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
