# Digext vs Buddy

The clearest difference is update cadence: Buddy at daily against Digext's every 6 days. Buddy also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Digext's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Digext sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month and Buddy sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Digext against 5.0 for Buddy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digext has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Digext ships an update every 6 days, Buddy daily. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
