Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: palet at none against MoonCut's 1. palet also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). MoonCut's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
