# iUSB vs Pip

The clearest difference is rating: Pip at 4.6 against iUSB's 2.8. Pip also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 24) and review sentiment (41% vs 25%). iUSB's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Pip holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pip has 1.2K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of iUSB's written reviews are positive against 41% of Pip's.

iUSB ships an update every 10 days, Pip every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
