# DevMate vs CMD

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CMD at 95% against DevMate's 33%. CMD also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). DevMate's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DevMate sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. CMD asks for nothing beyond the download.

CMD holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CMD has 76 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of DevMate's written reviews are positive against 95% of CMD's.

DevMate ships an update every 8 days, CMD every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 9, 2026.
