# Dextopia vs Prokedex

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dextopia at none against Prokedex's 2. Dextopia also leads on ads (none vs shown). Prokedex's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 50%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prokedex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Dextopia asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Dextopia against 4.8 for Prokedex. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prokedex has 996 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Dextopia's written reviews are positive against 82% of Prokedex's.

Dextopia ships an update every 5 months, Prokedex weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
