# ProDex vs Poke Battle Buddy

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.

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.
