Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tape2 at 4.5 against MUKU's 3.0. Tape2 also leads on ratings volume (53 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). MUKU's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tape2 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tape2 has 53 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Tape2's written reviews are positive against 75% of MUKU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tape2 ships an update every 3 months, MUKU every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
