# PLL vs KingPool

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PLL at none against KingPool's 5. PLL also leads on ratings volume (4.2K vs 5). KingPool's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KingPool sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. PLL asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for PLL against 5.0 for KingPool. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PLL has 4.2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of PLL's written reviews are positive against 100% of KingPool's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and July 1, 2026 respectively.
