# My DUPR Coach vs PickleBuddy

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PickleBuddy at none against My DUPR Coach's 3. PickleBuddy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). My DUPR Coach's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 9) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My DUPR Coach sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. PickleBuddy asks for nothing beyond the download.

PickleBuddy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My DUPR Coach has 1.8K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of My DUPR Coach's written reviews are positive against 100% of PickleBuddy's.

My DUPR Coach ships an update monthly, PickleBuddy every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
