# Public Mobile vs Enterkey

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Enterkey at 83% against Public Mobile's 45%. Enterkey also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Public Mobile's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Enterkey sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Public Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

Public Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Public Mobile has 234 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Public Mobile's written reviews are positive against 83% of Enterkey's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Public Mobile ships an update every 3 weeks, Enterkey weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
