Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SAT at 4.0 against POP's 3.0. SAT also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). POP's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

SAT holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POP has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
SAT ships an update fortnightly, POP every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
