Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PinOut! at none against Twist's shown. PinOut! also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). Twist's advantage is ratings volume (36K vs 7.1K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Twist sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and PinOut! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.1 for Twist against 4.2 for PinOut!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twist has 36K ratings behind it against 7.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 68% and 67% positive.
Twist ships an update every 4 months, PinOut! every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
