# Pupitre vs dinosAR

The clearest difference is rating: Pupitre at 5.0 against dinosAR's 4.4. Pupitre also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). dinosAR's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pupitre sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and dinosAR sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pupitre holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: dinosAR has 1.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Pupitre's written reviews are positive against 65% of dinosAR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pupitre ships an update every 2 months, dinosAR weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
