Payment and Purchase Rules 1 Purchase Method Premium Features must be purchased through the official Apple App Store payment channel (In-App Purchase - IAP). Prices are as displayed on the purchase page. 2 Purchase Content Purchase items are divided into two forms: consumable and permanent. Consumable items deplete gradually with use and can be repurchased; permanent items do not expire and are valid for life. 3 Subscription/Order Management Subscriptions are divided into two forms: Auto-Renewable Subscriptions and Non-Renewing Subscriptions. • Auto-Renewable Subscription: A service that automatically renews and charges fees at fixed intervals (e.g., monthly/yearly), unless the user actively cancels it; • Non-Renewing Subscription: Does not automatically renew or charge upon expiry; requires manual repurchase; • Users with auto-renewing subscriptions can view, manage, and turn off auto-renewal in their Apple ID settings on Apple devices; 4 Refund Processing Users may request refunds from Apple. Refunds are subject to the Apple App Store refund policy. The Service Provider does not directly handle payment disputes. 5 Service Interruption If verification fails due to force majeure (e.g., network failure, Apple server outage), Premium Features will be suspended until verification is restored. - Users can purchase Premium Features through the Apple App Store payment system. After purchase, an internet connection is required to verify the subscription status. **The internet connection is solely used to verify the subscription and the validity of the payment transaction.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Pocket Day at daily against MyBox's every 9 days. Pocket Day also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). MyBox's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket Day sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.29 per 7 days and MyBox sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pocket Day holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyBox has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Pocket Day ships an update daily, MyBox every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
