# StarLight vs Pinlist

The clearest difference is price: Pinlist at Free against StarLight's $2.99. StarLight's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). On review sentiment, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Pinlist is free to download; StarLight costs $2.99 up front. Pinlist sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. StarLight asks for nothing beyond the download.

StarLight holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of StarLight's written reviews are positive against 85% of Pinlist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
