# Pocket vs B4U Post

The clearest difference is rating: B4U Post at 5.0 against Pocket's 4.2. B4U Post also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Pocket's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and B4U Post sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

B4U Post holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Pocket ships an update weekly, B4U Post every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 9, 2026 respectively.
