# STAR/CHILD vs MOMumental

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MOMumental at 100% against STAR/CHILD's 36%. MOMumental also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). STAR/CHILD's advantage is ratings volume (401 vs 19). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. STAR/CHILD sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and MOMumental sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MOMumental holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STAR/CHILD has 401 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of STAR/CHILD's written reviews are positive against 100% of MOMumental's.

STAR/CHILD ships an update monthly, MOMumental every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
