# Raya vs MIDO

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MIDO at 100% against Raya's 14%. MIDO also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). Raya's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raya sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month. MIDO asks for nothing beyond the download.

MIDO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raya has 17K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of Raya's written reviews are positive against 100% of MIDO's.

Raya ships an update every 3 days, MIDO fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
