Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: POOL at none against Goated's shown. POOL also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Goated's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (29 vs 4). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Goated against 4.8 for POOL. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Goated has 29 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Goated's written reviews are positive against 100% of POOL's.
Goated ships an update every 4 days, POOL every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
