# VVTerm vs Moshi

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Moshi at 585 against VVTerm's 10. Moshi also leads on chart position (#5 vs #170). VVTerm's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (16.1 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VVTerm sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month and Moshi sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VVTerm holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moshi has 585 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of VVTerm's written reviews are positive against 75% of Moshi's.

VVTerm ships an update every 5 days, Moshi every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
