# Weibo intl. vs POME

The clearest difference is rating: Weibo intl. at 3.2 against POME's 1.9. Weibo intl. also leads on ratings volume (4.8K vs 26) and iOS requirement (13 vs 15.0). POME's advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 14%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weibo intl. sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and POME sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Weibo intl. holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weibo intl. has 4.8K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Weibo intl.'s written reviews are positive against 49% of POME's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Weibo intl. ships an update every 2 weeks, POME every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
