Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Freeman’s holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Freeman’s has 83 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Freeman’s's written reviews are positive against 33% of Pook & Pook Auction's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Freeman’s ships an update monthly, Pook & Pook Auction every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
