Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Pokopedia at Free against Thready's $2.99. Pokopedia also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (620 vs 61). Thready's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pokopedia holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pokopedia has 620 ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Thready's written reviews are positive against 51% of Pokopedia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Thready ships an update every 8 days, Pokopedia every 5 days. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
