Pochemeow's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Pochemeow holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Takeover's written reviews are positive against 90% of Pochemeow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Takeover ships an update every 3 days, Pochemeow every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
