Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Picklr at none against DUPR's 10. The Picklr also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.4 vs 4.0). DUPR's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (4K vs 552). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. DUPR sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. The Picklr asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Picklr holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DUPR has 4K ratings behind it against 552, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 9% of DUPR's written reviews are positive against 22% of The Picklr's.
DUPR ships an update weekly, The Picklr fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
