Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Potion.bar at 4.2 against Infinity Bottle's 3.7. Potion.bar also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume 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. Potion.bar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Infinity Bottle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Potion.bar holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 380 and 197 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Potion.bar's written reviews are positive against 35% of Infinity Bottle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Potion.bar ships an update every 3 weeks, Infinity Bottle fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
