# VR Mission EXT vs Pocket Rogues

The clearest difference is rating: Pocket Rogues at 4.5 against VR Mission EXT's 4.0. Pocket Rogues also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 13) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). VR Mission EXT's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 76%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VR Mission EXT sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Pocket Rogues sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pocket Rogues holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket Rogues has 1K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of VR Mission EXT's written reviews are positive against 76% of Pocket Rogues's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

VR Mission EXT ships an update every 4 months, Pocket Rogues every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
