Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Bake Shop at 4.8 against PotSmoking.com's 3.8. The Bake Shop also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). PotSmoking.com's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
The Bake Shop holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 44 and 127 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of PotSmoking.com's written reviews are positive against 50% of The Bake Shop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PotSmoking.com ships an update every 3 months, The Bake Shop every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 28, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
