# Pocus vs Limit

The clearest difference is rating: Pocus at 3.8 against Limit's 3.4. Limit's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 52%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocus sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Limit sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pocus holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Pocus's written reviews are positive against 63% of Limit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pocus ships an update every 9 days, Limit fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
