PocketPSN vs TrueAchievements

PocketPSN is a PlayStation dashboard for tracking games, trophies, leaderboards and PlayStation Stars collectibles. It records games played, hours played, trophies and platinums, and lets users create and share custom lists. Leaderboards can be filtered to show friends. The service has Android, iOS and web versions. Its free plan includes collectibles tracking, custom lists, timezone timestamps, friend-filtered leaderboards and forum discussions. Pocket PSN Pro costs $2.50 a month, billed monthly, and adds ad-free use, automatic profile sync every 12 hours, self-sync every minute, live Twitch videos, social media links, custom banners and colors, unlimited lists, and removal of trophy card and mosaic watermarks. Account creation verifies a PSN account by asking users to place a generated code in their PSN About section. Setup instructions ask users to make their profile and games or trophies visible to Anyone. The privacy policy says the service may collect usernames, passwords, device information and usage data, and processes information for security and fraud prevention. The maker directs questions and concerns to the company by email.

TrueAchievements is a web-based Xbox community for tracking achievements and gaming accomplishments, alongside news, reviews, features, and achievement help. A free account provides game and achievement tracking, while members can organize game collections, follow progress across game series, and set scoring and completion goals. Tracking requires the Xbox profile's game and app history to be visible to everyone. The site hosts more than 3,000 community-created walkthroughs and achievement guides, with bookmarks that persist across devices. Its free Xbox One app includes a gamer homepage, game lists, achievement solutions, gaming sessions, and stats; it can open achievement solutions from the official Xbox One Achievements app. Users can view Xbox Store purchases and import them into game and DLC collections. Pro users can automate daily updates. A free account costs nothing. TrueAchievements Pro costs $3.99 a month and includes no ads, automatic Xbox syncing every 30 minutes, unlimited on-demand updates, and expanded game lists and trophy case. The site describes itself as independent from Microsoft and the Xbox team.
