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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pebblebee holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pebblebee has 227 ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Thinkspan's written reviews are positive against 39% of Pebblebee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Thinkspan ships an update every 2 weeks, Pebblebee every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
