◆ The source of PutApp I am an App control, like to install all kinds of interesting and fun applications, especially those small but beautiful, high value, minimalist design products, maybe just because of its beautiful UI, simple and literary temperament, so you can't stop loving it, so there are more and more apps installed on the phone, and the memory is getting smaller and smaller. Sometimes the frequency of opening it is very low, but I still want to pay attention to its trend, learn & learn from its beautiful UI, excellent interaction and so on. So I developed an app for designers, product managers and app collectors, hoping you can use it to collect and organize those apps that make your eyes shine. ◆ Some features of PutApp 1. Collecting apps can be done without opening PutApp to submit apps, select/create app sets, notes and other functions. 2. The apps in the app collection support custom sorting, batch deletion and migration. 3. You can easily filter the noted and uncommented apps. 4. Click on the application logo to open some of the locally installed applications directly. ...... ◆ My website Code Power Studio: https://www.maliquankai.com (Occasionally share various resources of product/design) Code force all open resource site: https://design.maliquankai.com (product/designer/independent developer's resource library) ◆ Contact me Your suggestions are vital to us, any questions and suggestions, write in the comment section or contact me.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PutApp at 4.5 against AppBox Pro's 3.1. PutApp also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 55%). AppBox Pro's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
