# Moblin vs KICK

Moblin and KICK both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Moblin's written reviews are positive against 45% of KICK's. Moblin also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). KICK's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and ratings volume (716 vs 76). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moblin sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. KICK asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Moblin against 4.7 for KICK. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KICK has 716 ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Moblin's written reviews are positive against 45% of KICK's.
