Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Portfolio Trader at 87% against Ample's 50%. Portfolio Trader also leads on ratings volume (426 vs 3) and device support (4 vs 1). Ample's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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. Portfolio Trader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Ample sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ample holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Portfolio Trader has 426 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Portfolio Trader's written reviews are positive against 50% of Ample's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Portfolio Trader ships an update every 5 days, Ample every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
