Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PocketBox at every 8 days against Isometric's every 2 months. Isometric's advantage is ratings volume (209 vs 6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Isometric sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and PocketBox sells 3 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 — 4.7 for Isometric against 4.8 for PocketBox. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Isometric has 209 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Isometric ships an update every 2 months, PocketBox every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
