Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MyLittleStar at Free against Pou's $1.99. Pou's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (68% vs 54%). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

MyLittleStar is free to download; Pou costs $1.99 up front. Pou sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and MyLittleStar sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pou holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pou has 3.9K ratings behind it against 556, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Pou's written reviews are positive against 54% of MyLittleStar's.
Pou ships an update every 3 months, MyLittleStar every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
