# Titan HD vs Dune

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Titan HD at none against Dune's 3. Titan HD also leads on price ($4.99 vs $10.99) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.0). Dune's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Titan HD costs $4.99 and Dune $10.99 up front. Dune sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Titan HD asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dune holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dune has 5K ratings behind it against 153, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 79% and 79% positive.

Titan HD ships an update monthly, Dune every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
