Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pocket Guide at none against P5R Guide's shown. Pocket Guide also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). P5R Guide's advantage is ratings volume (310 vs 59). 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. Pocket Guide sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and P5R Guide sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Pocket Guide against 4.9 for P5R Guide. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: P5R Guide has 310 ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Pocket Guide's written reviews are positive against 98% of P5R Guide's.
Pocket Guide ships an update weekly, P5R Guide every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
