Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: gov.pt at every 2 weeks against DUApp's every 6 months. gov.pt also leads on ratings volume (50 vs 4). DUApp's advantage is rating (1.8 vs 1.3). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DUApp holds the better App Store score, 1.8 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: gov.pt has 50 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 4% of gov.pt's written reviews are positive against 0% of DUApp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

gov.pt ships an update every 2 weeks, DUApp every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 22, 2026 respectively.
