Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Indigo at none against PC Express's shown. Indigo also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). PC Express's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 107). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PC Express holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PC Express has 1.7K ratings behind it against 107, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of Indigo's written reviews are positive against 24% of PC Express's.
Indigo ships an update fortnightly, PC Express every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 15, 2026 respectively.
