# PB vs Synopsis

The clearest difference is rating: Synopsis at 4.7 against PB's 3.9. Synopsis also leads on ratings volume (408 vs 13) and review sentiment (50% vs 40%). PB's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PB sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Synopsis sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.39 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Synopsis holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Synopsis has 408 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of PB's written reviews are positive against 50% of Synopsis's.

PB ships an update weekly, Synopsis every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
