# DJ E vs Snopes

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DJ E at none against Snopes's 11. DJ E also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.1). Snopes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Snopes sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. DJ E asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for DJ E against 4.8 for Snopes. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snopes has 650 ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of DJ E's written reviews are positive against 67% of Snopes's.

DJ E ships an update every 4 months, Snopes every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
