Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Moblin at 76 against Overlay Expert's 2. Moblin also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Overlay Expert's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Moblin sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Overlay Expert sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Overlay Expert holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moblin has 76 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Moblin ships an update every 2 weeks, Overlay Expert every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 14, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
