# Prokedex vs TK8

The clearest difference is rating: Prokedex at 4.8 against TK8's 3.8. Prokedex also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, 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 TK8 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Prokedex holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prokedex has 1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Prokedex's written reviews are positive against 67% of TK8's.

Prokedex ships an update weekly, TK8 every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
