Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: PinOut! at none against Horizon's shown. PinOut! also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Horizon's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume 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. PinOut! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Horizon sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Horizon holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7.1K and 20K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of PinOut!'s written reviews are positive against 60% of Horizon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PinOut! ships an update every 2 weeks, Horizon every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
