# Pofino vs Pok Pok Play Room

> Choose Pok Pok if you want award-winning, open-ended digital toys with no rules, no winning or losing and no words; choose Pofino if your child wants a familiar pretend-play story: adopt a pet, cook in a kitchen and dress up a character. Pok Pok's store page lists play spaces such as Town, House, Islands, Dinosaurs, Drawing and Blocks, no ads, an Apple Design Award and Editors' Choice, and a subscription after a free trial with monthly, annual and lifetime options. Reviewers note some parents dislike the subscription model. Pofino has no ads, no analytics and no account, optional text-to-speech narration and play-time limits, with a Pofino Family subscription and $2.99 world packs. Pofino is brand new, English only and iPhone and iPad only; Pok Pok has a much longer record.
