ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pospal holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 千牛 has 226 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Pospal's written reviews are positive against 23% of 千牛's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pospal ships an update every 10 days, 千牛 fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
