# Lunarwrite vs Hangjam

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lunarwrite at 85% against Hangjam's 40%. Lunarwrite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Hangjam's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (874 vs 97). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lunarwrite sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Hangjam sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lunarwrite holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hangjam has 874 ratings behind it against 97, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Lunarwrite's written reviews are positive against 40% of Hangjam's.

Lunarwrite ships an update monthly, Hangjam every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
