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.
iCMOB holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iCMOB has 2.1K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of iCMOB's written reviews are positive against 67% of PMOB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iCMOB ships an update every 4 months, PMOB every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
