# Pocket vs SEPass

The clearest difference is rating: SEPass at 5.0 against Pocket's 3.7. SEPass also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). Pocket's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocket sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. SEPass asks for nothing beyond the download.

SEPass holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocket has 6 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, SEPass fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
