# POP vs DUX

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: POP at none against DUX's 8. POP also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 9) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). DUX's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DUX sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. POP asks for nothing beyond the download.

DUX holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: POP has 1.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of POP's written reviews are positive against 100% of DUX's.

POP ships an update monthly, DUX every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
