Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pokipet at 4.6 against GameFox's 3.9. Pokipet also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 23) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks). GameFox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 54%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GameFox sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Pokipet sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pokipet holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pokipet has 13K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of GameFox's written reviews are positive against 54% of Pokipet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GameFox ships an update every 4 weeks, Pokipet every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
