# Sequel vs Popfeed Social

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Popfeed Social at none against Sequel's 8. Popfeed Social also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.4). Sequel's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 5). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sequel sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Popfeed Social asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sequel holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sequel has 1.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Sequel's written reviews are positive against 100% of Popfeed Social's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sequel ships an update weekly, Popfeed Social every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
