I designed Poke Battle Buddy to get you type advantage information as quickly as possible and in an easy to read format. With 18 different types it is understandable to not have every single interaction memorized. With Battle Buddy you can: - Manually Select a Type or Types. - Search for Pokémon by name to quickly pull up their weaknesses. - Know if a Physical or Special attack will do better! - All Pokémon included, even from the newest games! - Use with Pokémon Go, Pokémon Sword/Shield, etc. Pokémon, Pokémon Go, all Pokémon images, and all Pokémon names used in the Poke Battle Buddy app are registered trademarks of The Pokémon Company International, Niantic, Inc., Gamefreak Inc., or Nintendo Co..

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: ProDex at 5K against Poke Battle Buddy's 126. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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. ProDex sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Poke Battle Buddy sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. 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 ProDex against 4.6 for Poke Battle Buddy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProDex has 5K ratings behind it against 126, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of ProDex's written reviews are positive against 94% of Poke Battle Buddy's.
ProDex ships an update every 4 days, Poke Battle Buddy every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
