# DUPR vs PickleMate

The clearest difference is rating: PickleMate at 5.0 against DUPR's 4.1. PickleMate also leads on ads (none vs shown). DUPR's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 4) and chart position (#44 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, 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 PickleMate sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PickleMate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DUPR has 3.9K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
