Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PhocosLink at 3.3 against PV Pro's 2.4. PhocosLink also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). PV Pro's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (16% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PhocosLink holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PV Pro has 129 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of PV Pro's written reviews are positive against 0% of PhocosLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PV Pro ships an update fortnightly, PhocosLink every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
