# Moblin vs Masonry

The clearest difference is ads: Moblin at none against Masonry's shown. Moblin also leads on ratings volume (76 vs 13) and device support (4 vs 2). Masonry's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moblin sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Masonry sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Masonry 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 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Moblin's written reviews are positive against 100% of Masonry's.

Moblin ships an update every 2 weeks, Masonry every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
