# Paltopia vs Pal Guide

The clearest difference is update cadence: Pal Guide at every 2 days against Paltopia's every 3 weeks. Pal Guide also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Paltopia's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (70% vs 44%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paltopia sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Pal Guide sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Paltopia holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paltopia has 1.2K ratings behind it against 175, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Paltopia's written reviews are positive against 44% of Pal Guide's.

Paltopia ships an update every 3 weeks, Pal Guide every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
