# Pokipet vs Nibbit

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nibbit at none against Pokipet's 16. Nibbit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Pokipet's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 1) and chart position (#192 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pokipet sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Nibbit asks for nothing beyond the download.

Nibbit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pokipet has 12K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Pokipet ships an update every 5 days, Nibbit every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
