# Emoji Pop™ vs Differences

The clearest difference is rating: Differences at 4.9 against Emoji Pop™'s 4.2. Differences also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 61). Emoji Pop™'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Emoji Pop™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Differences sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Differences holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Differences has 3.8K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Emoji Pop™'s written reviews are positive against 61% of Differences's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Emoji Pop™ ships an update every 3 weeks, Differences every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
