# Pinlist vs OpenSub

The clearest difference is rating: OpenSub at 4.5 against Pinlist's 4.2. OpenSub also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%). Pinlist's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pinlist sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year and OpenSub sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OpenSub holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pinlist has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Pinlist's written reviews are positive against 100% of OpenSub's.

Pinlist ships an update weekly, OpenSub every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
