# Poke Battle vs ProDex

The clearest difference is ads: Poke Battle at none against ProDex's shown. Poke Battle also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.0). ProDex's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (5K vs 563). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Poke Battle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ProDex sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Poke Battle against 4.6 for ProDex. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProDex has 5K ratings behind it against 563, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Poke Battle's written reviews are positive against 88% of ProDex's.

Poke Battle ships an update monthly, ProDex every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
