Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pepco at 4.7 against Starry Internet's 4.4. Pepco also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 2.8K). Starry Internet's advantage is review sentiment (34% vs 26%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pepco holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pepco has 15K ratings behind it against 2.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Pepco's written reviews are positive against 34% of Starry Internet'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 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
