Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: MyPelican at 12K against Basile State's 113. Basile State's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 58%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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.
MyPelican holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyPelican has 12K ratings behind it against 113, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Basile State's written reviews are positive against 58% of MyPelican's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
