# Pocket Love! vs Heartopia

Pocket Love! and Heartopia both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of Pocket Love!'s written reviews are positive against 56% of Heartopia's. Pocket Love! also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (249K vs 36K). Heartopia's advantage is chart position (#8 vs #58) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Love! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Heartopia sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pocket Love! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket Love! has 249K ratings behind it against 36K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
