# Godus vs MoonBox

The clearest difference is rating: Godus at 4.6 against MoonBox's 4.0. Godus also leads on ratings volume (75K vs 248) and review sentiment (73% vs 64%). MoonBox's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Godus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and MoonBox sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Godus holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Godus has 75K ratings behind it against 248, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Godus's written reviews are positive against 64% of MoonBox's.

Godus ships an update every 2 weeks, MoonBox every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
