# DWG FastView vs Cutter optimizer

The clearest difference is rating: Cutter optimizer at 5.0 against DWG FastView's 4.5. Cutter optimizer also leads on ads (none vs shown). DWG FastView's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DWG FastView sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Cutter optimizer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cutter optimizer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DWG FastView has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DWG FastView ships an update every 4 weeks, Cutter optimizer every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
