Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: cTrader at 87% against MoonX's 0%. cTrader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 1). MoonX's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MoonX holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: cTrader has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of cTrader's written reviews are positive against 0% of MoonX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
cTrader ships an update weekly, MoonX fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
