Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: DetailsPro at every 5 days against Code Recipes's every 2 months. DetailsPro also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and chart position (#170 vs unranked). Code Recipes's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Code Recipes sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and DetailsPro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DetailsPro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DetailsPro has 382 ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 82% and 81% positive.
Code Recipes ships an update every 2 months, DetailsPro every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
