# DUPR vs The Picklr

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Picklr at none against DUPR's 19. The Picklr also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). DUPR's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 549). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DUPR sells 17 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 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DUPR has 3.8K ratings behind it against 549, 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 23% of The Picklr's.

DUPR ships an update every 6 days, The Picklr every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
