# Borne vs Luna

The clearest difference is ads: Borne at none against Luna's shown. Borne also leads on ratings volume (76 vs 6). Luna's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Borne sells 10 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 — 4.7 for Borne against 4.8 for Luna. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Borne has 76 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Borne ships an update weekly, Luna every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
