# Narjo vs Mobile MA

The clearest difference is rating: Narjo at 4.4 against Mobile MA's 2.8. Narjo also leads on ratings volume (31 vs 9) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). Mobile MA's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Narjo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Mobile MA sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Narjo holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 31 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Narjo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Mobile MA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Narjo ships an update every 11 days, Mobile MA every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
