Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Encompass Parts holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Encompass Parts's written reviews are positive against 33% of SD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Encompass Parts ships an update every 17 months, SD every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
