Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: P Phones at none against Ghost's 10. P Phones also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 60%). Ghost's advantage is ratings volume (7.7K vs 15) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ghost sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. P Phones asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ghost holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ghost has 7.7K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of P Phones's written reviews are positive against 60% of Ghost's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

P Phones ships an update monthly, Ghost every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
