The ability to raid remotely from anywhere in the world might be the biggest thing since the release of Pokémon GO. Now it doesn't matter where you live, you can join a party to take down that Tier 5 boss you've been dreaming about. With GO Raid Party, we match people who need help with people who want to help, with a simple and easy to understand interface. This app is perfect for people who: - Has plenty of raids around but nobody to raid with. Go host a room! - Has a strong team but no raid around to join. Go find a room to help out! - Wants to raid regional stuff. It used to sucks when you can't have Azelf/Mesprit/Uxie just because you can't travel. Now you can (when it comes back to raids, of course). - Want to raid 24/7 to grind that hundo or shiny or dare we suggest, SHUNDO. Download the app, setup your profile and get your first raid done in less than 10 minutes. It's that simple. View Terms of Use at the following URL: https://goraidparty.com/terms.html

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GO Raid Party at 4.8 against WeCatch's 4.2. GO Raid Party also leads on ratings volume (27K vs 2K). WeCatch's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 44%). On price, update cadence, ads 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. WeCatch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GO Raid Party sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GO Raid Party holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GO Raid Party has 27K ratings behind it against 2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of WeCatch's written reviews are positive against 44% of GO Raid Party's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
