# Rubyist vs Deeplink Buddy

The clearest difference is rating: Rubyist at 4.6 against Deeplink Buddy's 3.5. Rubyist also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 20 months). Deeplink Buddy's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
