# Fing vs D

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: D at none against Fing's 7. D also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.4). Fing's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (35% vs 17%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fing sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 3 months. D asks for nothing beyond the download.

Fing holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fing has 116K ratings behind it against 5.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of Fing's written reviews are positive against 17% of D's.

Fing ships an update every 4 weeks, D every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
