# DUPR vs Pickleball

The clearest difference is rating: Pickleball at 5.0 against DUPR's 4.1. Pickleball also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). DUPR's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DUPR sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Pickleball sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pickleball 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 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DUPR ships an update weekly, Pickleball every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
