UK retailers named
Stellar names more
Stellar: Argos UK, Currys, John Lewis, Very UK, Smyths and others. HiddenAIO: Argos, Currys.
Computer
Both: Windows and Mac
Stellar: macOS 14+, 8 GB RAM minimum. HiddenAIO: Mac support "varies by version".
Pricing and commitment
HiddenAIO costs less up front and you can leave after a month, which suits trying bots out or only botting a few releases. Over a full first year, 12 months at $49.99 comes to $599.88, against Stellar's $899.
Year two: Stellar renews at $599 a year, and 12 more months of HiddenAIO is $599.88 at today's price, so the two cost almost exactly the same from year two (prices as shown, before fees).
Our judgementIf you're unsure you'll use a bot all year, the monthly model carries less risk. If you know you will, the gap narrows after year one.
Retailer coverage for UK users
Both name Pokémon Center. Stellar publishes the longer list of UK high-street retailers. HiddenAIO's site focuses on Pokémon Center, Pop Mart, Shopify stores and "the UK high street", and names Argos and Currys. Before you buy either, check the vendor's own site list for the specific UK retailers you care about.
Setup and requirements
Stellar publishes clear system requirements: Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows Server 2016 or macOS 14+, a modern quad-core processor (such as an Intel Core i5 8th gen, Ryzen 5 2600 or Apple M1), 8 GB RAM and 10 GB of free storage. HiddenAIO says it supports Mac and Windows, varying by version. Both expect you to bring proxies and retailer accounts: see UK proxies.
Who should pick which
Our judgementHiddenAIO if you want a monthly, cancel-any-time option mainly for Pokémon Center and Shopify drops. Stellar AIO if you'll bot all year across several UK retailers and have a reasonably modern Windows PC or an Apple silicon Mac.
Before you buy either
Neither bot changes Pokémon Center UK's rules. Pokémon Center UK's terms of use let it limit or cancel orders, including those placed with automated tools. Read the current terms on pokemoncenter.com before buying a bot. Stellar's FAQ also says success depends on inventory, demand, your setup and retailer restrictions, and that it can't guarantee an order.
Budget for proxies on top of the bot price. If you're new, a UK cook group can tell you which releases are worth trying for.
Other options
NSB ($499 every 6 months, Intel and Apple silicon Macs), BruteAIO (£125 then £40 a month, UK-focused) and Valor AIO ($1,999.99, then $49.99 a month) are compared in bots for Pokémon Center UK. Also see Stellar AIO vs BruteAIO, all checkout bots and all comparisons.
