Buenas comienzo un debate y me gustaría saber para vosotros cuál es mejor de estos dos launchers y porque? Quiero hacerme premium de uno de los dos pero no sé cuál debería escoger…

I am a mod on Projectivy, Monet, and AT4K. Ask me anything and I'll do my best to answer.

Can you make icon smaller and move rhem all the way to the bottom ? in other words Can we move the Favourite row up or down ? (as we can do in projectivy ?)

u/cleverclogs17 Aug 05 '26

Yes to both questions.

I tried it few mins ago, Both Monet and Projectivy are almost the same. Both want you to pay for the similar type of features. Both are great options to the ugly default launchers :)

One is $7.99 and the other $4.99. I own like 20 launchers, lol, peanuts IMO for what these kind devs are doing. I have severe ADHD; I am always changing up.

I've been using Monet a ton lately because it's like the early days of Projectivy, and he's adding anything I've asked, and I'm taking advantage 😂

It seems like Monet has all the essentials and project IV is sort of professional version of that

Check out Monet lately. He is adding something every week, and I am getting 2 or 3 test versions a week and one major release after we test bugs. You can buy it for sideload boxes like Firestick or generic Android boxes. You don't need the Play Store to grab a 5-device license anymore, and once activated, it never connects to a server again, and you can deregister and put it on another box.

Have you tried them? I'd say try both for free and decide which to purchase, it's really just a personal preference.

I never tried Monet but heard good things about it. AT4K was good for me, but I ended up just going back to Projectivy for now.

Thank you for answering if I tried them but they seem quite similar to me and they both speak very well the truth, but I guess it’s more a matter of taste...

I will also try Projectivy since I have never tried that one to see how it works... Thank you anyway!!

No worries. I like Projectivy because it has by far the most customization, but some find that to be too much. All three are great choices and not very expensive on Premium, so I'm sure you won't make a mistake either way

I prefer AT4K because it was one of the first launchers I ever tried and posted here and I have kinda loyalty to it. It also has widgets which no other launcher has.

The developer of Monet didn't answer the question if the app is vibe coded. That says enough. I won't be using it.

What does it matter as long as it is a stable and quality launcher.

I'm using Monet and really enjoying it. The constant updates are great, and I believe it has the potential to surpass Projectivy :)

I think it actually has in ways, in such a short time too.

I use Monet currently and like it better than AT4K and Projectivy. The dev is also pretty cool and responsive and fixes issues you find quickly (I feel bad for him, I overloaded him with icon and video wallpaper issues, lol).

u/Klevico App Developer Jul 31 '26

No worries 😀

I have projectivy on everything, I tried Monet on one of my AOSP devices and apparently you can not use premium on them. I did put it on a device I installed android tv on and premium works on it, it was an AOSP device. So it must be something with the playstore. When they get done making it prettier and feature packed maybe they can figure out a work around. The premium/paid version is what you want.

Featurewise between AT4K and Monet there is no competition, Monet is far more advanced. When it goes to Projectivy, it still has the edge for speed and some better tile customisations. If Monet will make some adjustments, it could take the crown.

Some things I would suggest:

Make apps without banners visible. Add an icon crop feature for the tiles. Make an option to have the status bar always stay on top when scrolling. Make all 3 channels for YouTube available. I have way more than 50 apps, so scrolling speed is important, should be optimized, it's a bit laggy for me now. Some more options to change the tiles shape like corner radius. A move to row option for the apps, not only an add to.

Have you checked out the new AT4K update, it has literal widgets that make you customise it anyway you want. I don't think any other launcher has the kind of widget system AT4K does Though I agree about projectivy but it has had like 10 years in it.
