# App Maker. vs Digital Ocean Mobile

The clearest difference is review sentiment: App Maker. at 72% against Digital Ocean Mobile's 20%. App Maker. also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Digital Ocean Mobile's advantage is rating (3.7 vs 3.4) and chart position (#66 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Digital Ocean Mobile sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. App Maker. asks for nothing beyond the download.

Digital Ocean Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App Maker. has 75 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of App Maker.'s written reviews are positive against 20% of Digital Ocean Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

App Maker. ships an update every 2 days, Digital Ocean Mobile every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
