# pocketgg vs Left

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: pocketgg at none against Left's 10. pocketgg also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 73%) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Left's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (514 vs 76). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Left sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. pocketgg asks for nothing beyond the download.

Left holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Left has 514 ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of pocketgg's written reviews are positive against 73% of Left's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

pocketgg ships an update every 2 months, Left every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
