# Pro Pick'em vs KingPool

The clearest difference is review sentiment: KingPool at 100% against Pro Pick'em's 43%. KingPool also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 9 days). Pro Pick'em's advantage is ratings volume (774 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pro Pick'em sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and KingPool sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

KingPool holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pro Pick'em has 774 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Pro Pick'em's written reviews are positive against 100% of KingPool's.

Pro Pick'em ships an update every 9 days, KingPool every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and July 1, 2026 respectively.
