Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Small Fortune at monthly against Pocket Show's every 2 months. Small Fortune also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Pocket Show's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 453). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Small Fortune sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Pocket Show sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pocket Show holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 453 and 2.2K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Small Fortune's written reviews are positive against 40% of Pocket Show's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Small Fortune ships an update monthly, Pocket Show every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
