# XBOX vs Postparty

The clearest difference is ads: XBOX at none against Postparty's shown. XBOX also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (1.7M vs 17K). Postparty's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 51%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for XBOX against 4.7 for Postparty. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XBOX has 1.7M ratings behind it against 17K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of XBOX's written reviews are positive against 63% of Postparty's.

XBOX ships an update fortnightly, Postparty every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
