Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PostCard2Go at 4.4 against POKAmax's 3.4. PostCard2Go also leads on ratings volume (57 vs 5). POKAmax's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (85% vs 62%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
PostCard2Go holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PostCard2Go has 57 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of POKAmax's written reviews are positive against 62% of PostCard2Go's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
POKAmax ships an update fortnightly, PostCard2Go every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
