# MosKill vs POOLS™

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MosKill at none against POOLS™'s 1. MosKill also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). POOLS™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 31 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. POOLS™ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. MosKill asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for MosKill against 4.5 for POOLS™. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POOLS™ has 1.6K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of MosKill's written reviews are positive against 79% of POOLS™'s.

MosKill ships an update every 31 months, POOLS™ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
