# Polymer vs Pokit

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Polymer at 81% against Pokit's 27%. Polymer also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 25). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Polymer sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Pokit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Polymer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Polymer has 1.7K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of Polymer's written reviews are positive against 27% of Pokit's.

Polymer ships an update monthly, Pokit every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
