# AppClose vs NIDDO

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NIDDO at 100% against AppClose's 13%. NIDDO also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). AppClose's advantage is ratings volume (39K vs 1) and chart position (#37 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AppClose sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and NIDDO sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NIDDO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppClose has 39K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of AppClose's written reviews are positive against 100% of NIDDO's.

AppClose ships an update monthly, NIDDO every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
