# Pocket vs STS

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: STS at none against Pocket's 10. STS also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0).

Both are free to download. Pocket sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. STS asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pocket ships an update every 2 days, STS every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
