Raid Plaza gets you into remote raids for the bosses you want, quickly and easily. Pick a boss, add your trainer code, and a host sends you a friend request and a raid invite within minutes. No waiting queues, no group chats: the fastest remote invites on the store. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Raid invites: Legendary, Mega, Shadow and every other raid in rotation. • Max Battles: invites to Max Battles, Gigantamax included. • Gifts from other regions: get the regional gifts you're missing. • Bring your friends: request invites for several trainer codes at once and raid together for the friendship bonus. • Follow every request: see each step live, and why a request ended if it didn't work out. • Raid map: find raids anywhere, scan an area, and ask for a host at the raid you want. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your trainer code. 2. Pick a raid boss, a Max Battle or a gift region. 3. Accept the friend request in the game and join the lobby when the invite arrives. Your next raid is just a few taps away. See you in the lobby!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Raid Plaza at 4.0 against Excellent Throw's 3.1. Raid Plaza also leads on ratings volume (232 vs 46). Excellent Throw's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (57% vs 46%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Excellent Throw sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Raid Plaza sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Raid Plaza holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raid Plaza has 232 ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Excellent Throw's written reviews are positive against 46% of Raid Plaza's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Excellent Throw ships an update every 3 weeks, Raid Plaza every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
