# Deep Whois vs DoNotPay

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Deep Whois at 85% against DoNotPay's 11%. Deep Whois also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3). DoNotPay's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deep Whois sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and DoNotPay sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $35.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Deep Whois holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DoNotPay has 7.6K ratings behind it against 172, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Deep Whois's written reviews are positive against 11% of DoNotPay's.

Deep Whois ships an update every 4 months, DoNotPay every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
