Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Folio at free against PagePath's free with in-app purchases. Folio also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1). PagePath's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. PagePath sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Folio sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PagePath holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Folio has 7 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.
