# Confide vs MoveSquad

The clearest difference is ads: Confide at none against MoveSquad's shown. Confide also leads on ratings volume (8.2K vs 7). MoveSquad's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 days) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Confide sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and MoveSquad sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MoveSquad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Confide has 8.2K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Confide ships an update every 6 days, MoveSquad daily. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
