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. mysta(マイスタ) sells 17 one-off in-app purchases and Pocketdols sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pocketdols holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocketdols has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of mysta(マイスタ)'s written reviews are positive against 33% of Pocketdols's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
mysta(マイスタ) ships an update every 3 weeks, Pocketdols every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
