# BoxKit vs Power Inventory

The clearest difference is rating: Power Inventory at 4.8 against BoxKit's 4.2. Power Inventory also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and review sentiment (80% vs 54%). BoxKit's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (652 vs 6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BoxKit sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Power Inventory sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Power Inventory holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BoxKit has 652 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of BoxKit's written reviews are positive against 80% of Power Inventory's.

BoxKit ships an update every 2 days, Power Inventory fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
