ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PizzaDoughPal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PizzApp+ has 185 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of PizzApp+'s written reviews are positive against 0% of PizzaDoughPal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PizzApp+ ships an update every 5 months, PizzaDoughPal monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
