Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MyPi. at 4.2 against iMSO's 3.2. MyPi. also leads on ratings volume (37 vs 6). iMSO's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyPi. holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyPi. has 37 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of iMSO's written reviews are positive against 69% of MyPi.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iMSO ships an update every 3 months, MyPi. every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
