Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RedPocket at 4.5 against UK Postbox's 2.3. RedPocket also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 3). UK Postbox's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 19%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RedPocket holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RedPocket has 2.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of UK Postbox's written reviews are positive against 19% of RedPocket's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
