# xDelete vs D

The clearest difference is monetization model: D at free against xDelete's paid. D also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). xDelete's advantage is ratings volume (498 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

D holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xDelete has 498 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of xDelete's written reviews are positive against 100% of D's.

xDelete ships an update every 2 weeks, D monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
