# Structured vs Digital Planner

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Structured at 78% against Digital Planner's 21%. Structured also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ads (none vs shown). Digital Planner's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Structured sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Digital Planner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Structured holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Structured has 166K ratings behind it against 14K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Structured's written reviews are positive against 21% of Digital Planner's.

Structured ships an update fortnightly, Digital Planner every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
