# CourtReserve vs DUPR

The clearest difference is rating: DUPR at 4.1 against CourtReserve's 2.9. DUPR also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 359). CourtReserve's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and ads (none vs shown). On price, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DUPR sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. CourtReserve asks for nothing beyond the download.

DUPR holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DUPR has 3.9K ratings behind it against 359, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of CourtReserve's written reviews are positive against 9% of DUPR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CourtReserve ships an update every 5 weeks, DUPR weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
