# DupScore vs Perplexity

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Perplexity at 518K against DupScore's 38. Perplexity also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and chart position (#6 vs unranked). DupScore's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 63%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DupScore sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Perplexity sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for DupScore against 4.8 for Perplexity. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Perplexity has 518K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of DupScore's written reviews are positive against 63% of Perplexity's.

DupScore ships an update fortnightly, Perplexity every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
