# DoD vs Pilipala

The clearest difference is rating: DoD at 4.3 against Pilipala's 3.0. DoD also leads on ratings volume (47 vs 2). Pilipala's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DoD sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Pilipala asks for nothing beyond the download.

DoD holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DoD has 47 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of DoD's written reviews are positive against 67% of Pilipala's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DoD ships an update fortnightly, Pilipala weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
