Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PocketSmith Sidekick at 3.1 against Neontra's 2.0. PocketSmith Sidekick also leads on ratings volume (52 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Neontra's advantage is review sentiment (58% vs 35%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PocketSmith Sidekick sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month and Neontra sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PocketSmith Sidekick holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PocketSmith Sidekick has 52 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of PocketSmith Sidekick's written reviews are positive against 58% of Neontra's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PocketSmith Sidekick ships an update every 6 weeks, Neontra every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
