Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PokeScope at every 8 days against Mintgrid's every 2 months. PokeScope also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 2) and chart position (#123 vs unranked). 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. PokeScope sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Mintgrid sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for PokeScope against 4.5 for Mintgrid. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PokeScope has 3.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
PokeScope ships an update every 8 days, Mintgrid every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
