# MyPool vs Pool OS

The clearest difference is rating: Pool OS at 5.0 against MyPool's 4.1. Pool OS also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). MyPool's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyPool sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Pool OS sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pool OS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyPool has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MyPool ships an update every 9 days, Pool OS every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and August 11, 2026 respectively.
