# DigitsX vs Plug

The clearest difference is rating: DigitsX at 4.4 against Plug's 3.9. DigitsX also leads on ratings volume (941 vs 104). Plug's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DigitsX sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Plug asks for nothing beyond the download.

DigitsX holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DigitsX has 941 ratings behind it against 104, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of DigitsX's written reviews are positive against 92% of Plug's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DigitsX ships an update monthly, Plug daily. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
