# Prokedex vs Pokéos

The clearest difference is ads: Pokéos at none against Prokedex's shown. Prokedex's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 78) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prokedex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pokéos sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Prokedex against 4.8 for Pokéos. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prokedex has 1K ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of Prokedex's written reviews are positive against 70% of Pokéos's.

Prokedex ships an update weekly, Pokéos every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
