# Net Deck vs Dune

The clearest difference is price: Net Deck at Free against Dune's $10.99. Net Deck also leads on review sentiment (98% vs 79%) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). Dune's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 45). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Net Deck is free to download; Dune costs $10.99 up front. Net Deck sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Dune sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. 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 Net Deck against 4.9 for Dune. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dune has 4.9K ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 98% of Net Deck's written reviews are positive against 79% of Dune's.

Net Deck ships an update every 6 weeks, Dune every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
