# LunaShort vs Sparkvis

The clearest difference is ads: Sparkvis at none against LunaShort's shown. Sparkvis also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). LunaShort's advantage is ratings volume (523 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LunaShort sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Sparkvis sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sparkvis holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LunaShort has 523 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

LunaShort ships an update monthly, Sparkvis every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
