# POOLS™ vs 0.000

The clearest difference is ads: POOLS™ at none against 0.000's shown. POOLS™ also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.5). 0.000's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. POOLS™ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 0.000 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

POOLS™ ships an update every 2 months, 0.000 every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
