# PSE vs Xfinity

The clearest difference is rating: Xfinity at 4.3 against PSE's 3.9. Xfinity also leads on ratings volume (1.4M vs 14) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). PSE's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Xfinity holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xfinity has 1.4M ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of PSE's written reviews are positive against 9% of Xfinity's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PSE ships an update every 3 months, Xfinity fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
