# Panostory Pro vs Curated

The clearest difference is rating: Curated at 4.6 against Panostory Pro's 4.1. Curated also leads on review sentiment (96% vs 71%) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). Panostory Pro's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (22 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Panostory Pro sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Curated sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Curated holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 7 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Panostory Pro's written reviews are positive against 96% of Curated's.

Panostory Pro ships an update fortnightly, Curated every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
