Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Pacaso at every 3 days against Intro's every 2 months. Intro's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 86). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Intro holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intro has 2.3K ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Pacaso's written reviews are positive against 75% of Intro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pacaso ships an update every 3 days, Intro every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
