Diamonds are (slightly) harder, therefore they're worth more.
Naturally occuring moissanite is rarer than diamonds, but that doesn't really factor into the equation because the gems used for moissanite jewelry are artificially produced anyway.

I guess both are worth it because moissanite is cheap according to their quality and the Diamond is costly according to their quality.

The best way to identify a diamond is to use a diamond tester. It is a handheld device which sends a thermal beam (heat) inside the stone and reads how fast the stone conducts the heat. Each mineral has a different heat conductive coefficient so this way you can tell a diamond from other stones. However, a moissanite (a withe stone grown in the lab) has the same response as a diamond so a diamond tester may confirm the moissanite as a diamond. Recently, a moissanite tester has been developed , so it can differentiate a diamond from a moissanite. Also a moissanite turns deep yellow when heated with a torch then turns back to white when cools down. Also, it is possible that a trained eye can see a greenish color it the moissanite.
