# Pinbox vs MarkMark

The clearest difference is update cadence: MarkMark at every 2 weeks against Pinbox's every 3 months. MarkMark also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (17 vs 2). Pinbox's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pinbox sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and MarkMark sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MarkMark holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MarkMark has 17 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pinbox's written reviews are positive against 93% of MarkMark's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pinbox ships an update every 3 months, MarkMark every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
