Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LetPot at 74% against INKBIRD's 23%. INKBIRD's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (6.8K vs 65). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
INKBIRD holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: INKBIRD has 6.8K ratings behind it against 65, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of INKBIRD's written reviews are positive against 74% of LetPot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
INKBIRD ships an update fortnightly, LetPot every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
