# MyStuff2 Pro vs Formbook

The clearest difference is update cadence: Formbook at every 4 days against MyStuff2 Pro's fortnightly. Formbook also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 69%). MyStuff2 Pro's advantage is ratings volume (533 vs 32). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyStuff2 Pro sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Formbook sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for MyStuff2 Pro against 4.5 for Formbook. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyStuff2 Pro has 533 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of MyStuff2 Pro's written reviews are positive against 80% of Formbook's.

MyStuff2 Pro ships an update fortnightly, Formbook every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
