Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Duplics at 5.0 against Motaku's 4.1. Duplics also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Motaku's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Motaku sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Duplics sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Duplics holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1.
