# Digital Planner for iPad vs PolyPlan

The clearest difference is monetization model: PolyPlan at freemium against Digital Planner for iPad's subscription. Digital Planner for iPad's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 104) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Digital Planner for iPad sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and PolyPlan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PolyPlan holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Planner for iPad has 2.1K ratings behind it against 104, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of Digital Planner for iPad's written reviews are positive against 47% of PolyPlan's.

Digital Planner for iPad ships an update every 6 days, PolyPlan every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
