Both are free to download. Trio 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.
PinOut! holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PinOut! has 7.1K ratings behind it against 184, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Trio's written reviews are positive against 67% of PinOut!'s.
Trio ships an update fortnightly, PinOut! every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
