# Borne vs Luna

The clearest difference is ads: Borne at none against Luna's shown. Borne also leads on ratings volume (66 vs 6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Luna's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Borne sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Luna sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Borne against 4.8 for Luna. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Borne has 66 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Borne ships an update weekly, Luna daily. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
