# DevOps.com vs command_line

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DevOps.com at none against command_line's 3. DevOps.com also leads on ratings volume (20 vs 2) and update cadence (every 7 months vs every 15 months). command_line's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and rating there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. command_line sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. DevOps.com asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for DevOps.com against 5.0 for command_line. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DevOps.com has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DevOps.com ships an update every 7 months, command_line every 15 months. Both last shipped on October 8, 2026.
