# Moshi vs CodeMan

The clearest difference is price: Moshi at Free against CodeMan's $4.99. Moshi also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.9) and ratings volume (607 vs 7). CodeMan's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Moshi is free to download; CodeMan costs $4.99 up front. Moshi sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. CodeMan asks for nothing beyond the download.

Moshi holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moshi has 607 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Moshi's written reviews are positive against 56% of CodeMan's.

Moshi ships an update every 2 days, CodeMan weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
