Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: SUPPHEAD at free with in-app purchases against PocketScale's subscription. SUPPHEAD also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (257 vs 46). PocketScale's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SUPPHEAD sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and PocketScale sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 — 4.9 for SUPPHEAD against 4.8 for PocketScale. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SUPPHEAD has 257 ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of SUPPHEAD's written reviews are positive against 100% of PocketScale's.
SUPPHEAD ships an update every 3 days, PocketScale weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
