Portable Inventory helps you to keep track of the count of anything you want. Personal stuff, office supplies, product storage, etc. You can add different items into the app, set its initial count, warning count, and separate items by groups. Each item will be displayed as different colors on the main page, so that you can add or reduce the count. When an item’s count is equal or less than the warning count, a little yellow triangle with an excalmatory mark will be display on the item, and the group it belongs to. In addition, the app provided various functions to see statistics for your items or groups. You can check out the increasing, or decreasing ranking list of your items or groups in a specified time period. You can also see the change logs for all items and groups. The app works both on iPhone and iPad, and fully supports iCloud. You may edit your items across all your devices and your data will be safely stored in iCloud. And of course you can wipe out all data as you need.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HITS at 5.0 against Portable Inventory's 4.1. Portable Inventory's advantage is ratings volume (227 vs 4) and review sentiment (72% vs 64%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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. HITS sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Portable Inventory sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
HITS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Portable Inventory has 227 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of HITS's written reviews are positive against 72% of Portable Inventory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HITS ships an update every 5 weeks, Portable Inventory every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
