# KICK vs Moblin

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Moblin at 91% against KICK's 47%. Moblin also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7). KICK's advantage is ratings volume (140K vs 74) and chart position (#16 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KICK sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month and Moblin sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Moblin holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KICK has 140K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of KICK's written reviews are positive against 91% of Moblin's.

KICK ships an update every 6 days, Moblin weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
