Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Device at 100% against iFixit's 34%. My Device also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). iFixit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iFixit holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iFixit has 274 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of My Device's written reviews are positive against 34% of iFixit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Device ships an update every 27 months, iFixit every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
