Verdict

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
ntfy is free to download; Pi Stats Mobile costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ntfy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ntfy has 491 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Pi Stats Mobile's written reviews are positive against 79% of ntfy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pi Stats Mobile ships an update every 3 weeks, ntfy fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
