# CloudMoon vs Portal

The clearest difference is ads: Portal at none against CloudMoon's shown. CloudMoon's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 63%) and ratings volume (724 vs 68). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CloudMoon sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Portal sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for CloudMoon against 4.5 for Portal. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CloudMoon has 724 ratings behind it against 68, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of CloudMoon's written reviews are positive against 63% of Portal's.

CloudMoon ships an update every 11 days, Portal every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
