# DUPR vs Pickleballtv

The clearest difference is rating: DUPR at 4.1 against Pickleballtv's 2.9. DUPR also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (4K vs 72). Pickleballtv's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 9%) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DUPR sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Pickleballtv sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DUPR holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DUPR has 4K ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of DUPR's written reviews are positive against 29% of Pickleballtv's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DUPR ships an update weekly, Pickleballtv every 16 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
