# MOWD.io vs ShipFaced

The clearest difference is update cadence: ShipFaced at daily against MOWD.io's monthly. ShipFaced also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and device support (3 vs 1). MOWD.io's advantage is ratings volume (172 vs 1) and chart position (#196 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MOWD.io sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and ShipFaced sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for MOWD.io against 5.0 for ShipFaced. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MOWD.io has 172 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MOWD.io ships an update monthly, ShipFaced daily. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
