# DD vs Squall

The clearest difference is ads: DD at none against Squall's shown. DD also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Squall's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DD sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Squall sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 DD against 5.0 for Squall. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DD has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

DD ships an update every 4 days, Squall every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
