# AutoCDR vs CutList Optimizer

The clearest difference is rating: AutoCDR at 5.0 against CutList Optimizer's 4.4. AutoCDR also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%). CutList Optimizer's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and ratings volume (66 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AutoCDR sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and CutList Optimizer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AutoCDR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CutList Optimizer has 66 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of AutoCDR's written reviews are positive against 78% of CutList Optimizer's.

AutoCDR ships an update fortnightly, CutList Optimizer every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
