# Ticketbox vs POPS

The clearest difference is rating: POPS at 4.3 against Ticketbox's 3.3. POPS also leads on review sentiment (35% vs 13%) and ratings volume (838 vs 40). Ticketbox's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. POPS sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Ticketbox asks for nothing beyond the download.

POPS holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POPS has 838 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of Ticketbox's written reviews are positive against 35% of POPS's.

Ticketbox ships an update weekly, POPS monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
