# MY API vs Pollution

MY API and Pollution both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Pollution's written reviews are positive against 17% of MY API's. Pollution also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (18 vs 1). MY API's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MY API sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pollution sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.19 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for MY API against 4.9 for Pollution. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pollution has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 17% of MY API's written reviews are positive against 83% of Pollution's.

MY API ships an update every 9 months, Pollution every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
