# Pokémon GO vs Super Cargo

The clearest difference is ads: Super Cargo at none against Pokémon GO's shown. Super Cargo also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Pokémon GO's advantage is ratings volume (657K vs 15) and rating (4.0 vs 3.8). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pokémon GO sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Super Cargo sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pokémon GO holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pokémon GO has 657K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of Pokémon GO's written reviews are positive against 35% of Super Cargo's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
