# Whitepages vs PAeDocket

The clearest difference is rating: Whitepages at 4.6 against PAeDocket's 2.7. Whitepages also leads on ratings volume (162K vs 190) and chart position (#21 vs #168). PAeDocket's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Whitepages sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. PAeDocket asks for nothing beyond the download.

Whitepages holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whitepages has 162K ratings behind it against 190, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Whitepages's written reviews are positive against 29% of PAeDocket's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Whitepages ships an update every 2 weeks, PAeDocket weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
