Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FREEIP at 4.4 against DComplex Mobile's 3.0. FREEIP also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). DComplex Mobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 25%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FREEIP holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FREEIP has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of DComplex Mobile's written reviews are positive against 25% of FREEIP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DComplex Mobile ships an update every 4 months, FREEIP monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
