# Skip Search vs DSearch

The clearest difference is ads: DSearch at none against Skip Search's shown. DSearch also leads on review sentiment (94% vs 67%) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Skip Search's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skip Search sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and DSearch sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Skip Search holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DSearch has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Skip Search's written reviews are positive against 94% of DSearch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
