Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: POPS at free with in-app purchases against Netflix's subscription. POPS also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). Netflix's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (7.5M vs 840). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Netflix sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and POPS sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Netflix holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Netflix has 7.5M ratings behind it against 840, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Netflix ships an update weekly, POPS monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
