Should PC Palworld players play Palworld Online?
Play Palworld Online if you want persistent multiplayer, guild play and portable sessions; stay on PC or console Palworld if you value private servers, mods, offline play and full control over rates and settings.

Reasons to try it
A live shared world, joint base building and organised PvP are things the PC game's small servers cannot deliver.
Reasons to stay on PC
Mods, dedicated servers, config-file rate tuning and offline single-player are PC-only strengths and are not promised on mobile.
Monetisation caution
Palworld sells as a one-off purchase; a licensed free-to-play mobile MMO typically monetises differently. No pricing model has been confirmed, so budget expectations should stay flexible.
No cross-progression stated
Nothing in the announcement mentions shared accounts or transfers, so treat the two games as separate collections.
TCG overlap
Palworld Official Card Game knowledge is unaffected: card numbers, rarities and set codes belong to the physical game, not either video game.
