Both are free to download. PoPoem sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. ILLU asks for nothing beyond the download.
PoPoem holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of PoPoem's written reviews are positive against 100% of ILLU's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PoPoem ships an update every 3 weeks, ILLU monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
