# Plinqit vs Auto

Plinqit and Auto both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Plinqit's written reviews are positive against 25% of Auto's. Plinqit also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Auto's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Plinqit holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Auto has 6.8K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Plinqit's written reviews are positive against 25% of Auto's.

Plinqit ships an update every 4 months, Auto every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
