# DeckPilot vs Fenlin

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fenlin at none against DeckPilot's 3. Fenlin also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). DeckPilot's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DeckPilot sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Fenlin asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for DeckPilot against 5.0 for Fenlin. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DeckPilot has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
