Verdict

The call

Pikalytics and Enhanced Tooltips for Showdown both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Enhanced Tooltips for Showdown's written reviews are positive against 51% of Pikalytics's. Enhanced Tooltips for Showdown also leads on price (Free vs $0.99). Pikalytics's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (739 vs 23). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pikalytics holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pikalytics has 739 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Pikalytics's written reviews are positive against 100% of Enhanced Tooltips for Showdown's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pikalytics ships an update every 11 days, Enhanced Tooltips for Showdown every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
