# Moshi vs Tailscode

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Moshi at 550 against Tailscode's 1. Moshi also leads on chart position (#6 vs unranked). Tailscode's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moshi sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Tailscode sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tailscode holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moshi has 550 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
