Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mi at 2.8 against MOES's 2.3. Mi also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (6.1 vs 14.0). MOES's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 6) and review sentiment (23% vs 11%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mi holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MOES has 70 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Mi's written reviews are positive against 23% of MOES's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mi ships an update every 9 days, MOES every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
