# Moopes vs Utopia

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Moopes at none against Utopia's 8. Moopes also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Utopia's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Utopia sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Moopes asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Moopes against 5.0 for Utopia. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Utopia has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Moopes ships an update fortnightly, Utopia every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
