Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iStrip Pro at 4.0 against iStrip+'s 2.8. iStrip Pro also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). iStrip+'s advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and ratings volume (449 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iStrip Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iStrip+ has 449 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of iStrip+'s written reviews are positive against 0% of iStrip Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iStrip+ ships an update every 2 months, iStrip Pro fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 30, 2026 and August 26, 2026 respectively.
