# ServerBox vs Palm

The clearest difference is rating: ServerBox at 4.9 against Palm's 4.3. ServerBox also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 50%) and ratings volume (91 vs 6). Palm's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ServerBox holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ServerBox has 91 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of ServerBox's written reviews are positive against 50% of Palm's.

ServerBox ships an update fortnightly, Palm daily. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
