# 豆瓣 vs POME

The clearest difference is rating: 豆瓣 at 4.5 against POME's 1.9. 豆瓣 also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 26). POME's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (49% vs 22%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 豆瓣 sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and POME sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

豆瓣 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 豆瓣 has 22K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of 豆瓣's written reviews are positive against 49% of POME's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

豆瓣 ships an update fortnightly, POME every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
