Which to use for what
- Quick Pal lookup (stats, drops, where it spawns)Better pick: Palworld.gg
Palworld.gg has more polished presentation; the Pal page has everything in one scroll. PalDB requires more clicking to gather the same info.
- Find the exact drop rate of an itemBetter pick: PalDB
PalDB exposes raw probabilities extracted from game files. Palworld.gg simplifies it with "Common/Rare/Very Rare" without numbers.
- View interactive map with filtersBetter pick: Palworld.gg
Palworld.gg's map is faster, has better layer UI, and lets you toggle more categories at once. PalDB's map exists but is rawer.
- Version tracking / per-patch changelogsBetter pick: PalDB
PalDB has a "version" page with auto-detected diffs between patches. Palworld.gg doesn't expose that structured info.
- Community tier lists and recommendationsBetter pick: Palworld.gg
Palworld.gg publishes staff-curated tier lists (passives, base Pals, combat Pals). PalDB is purely data, no opinions.
The two mainstream Palworld databases are palworld.gg and paldb.cc. Both cover Pals, items, breeding, and map. But their priorities are opposite: Palworld.gg bets on presentation and discovery; PalDB on data completeness and technical tracking.
How they feel
Palworld.gg feels like a modern app: top nav with categories, per-Pal pages with stats + drops + breeding in one scroll, fast map with togglable layers, tier lists with thumbnails. For someone who opens the site to answer one concrete question and bounce back to the game in 30 seconds, it flows perfectly.
PalDB feels like a technical database: dense nav, pages with extensive tables, raw data straight from the game files. For someone who wants complete drop tables with raw probabilities, stat growth curves per level, or the exact diff between patches, this is gold.
What both cover
Both cover the basics: Pal list with stats, map, breeding combos, items, recipes. For 80% of a casual player's queries, either works.
What only one covers
Only Palworld.gg:
- Community tier lists (passives, base Pals, combat Pals).
- More polished, faster interactive map.
- Some discovery filters (browse by work suitability, etc.) that on PalDB require knowing the naming convention.
Only PalDB:
- Drop tables with raw probabilities (numbers, not labels).
- Stat growth curves per level.
- Versions page with auto-detected diffs between patches.
- NPC, syndicate tower, and dungeon data with full drop tables.
When each one wins
| Use case | Winner |
|---|---|
| Quick Pal lookup | Palworld.gg |
| Exact drop rate of an item | PalDB |
| Interactive map with filters | Palworld.gg |
| Version tracking / changelogs | PalDB |
| Tier lists and recommendations | Palworld.gg |
Combined recommendation
Bookmark both. Default to Palworld.gg for everything casual. Jump to PalDB when a specific question doesn't answer well on Palworld.gg — typically when you need an exact number or per-patch tracking.
Both are English. Both are free. There's no rivalry between the teams — they're complementary and the serious community uses both without friction.
