Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: DetailsPro at every 5 days against Rubyist's every 3 weeks. DetailsPro also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and chart position (#141 vs unranked). Rubyist's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DetailsPro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Rubyist sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DetailsPro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 382 and 93 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of DetailsPro's written reviews are positive against 83% of Rubyist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DetailsPro ships an update every 5 days, Rubyist every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 20, 2026.
