# Mojo vs Coding User

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mojo at 48% against Coding User's 0%. Mojo also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and ads (none vs shown). Coding User's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mojo sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Coding User sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mojo holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mojo has 935 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Mojo's written reviews are positive against 0% of Coding User's.

Mojo ships an update every 4 months, Coding User every 25 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
