PurpleShift's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PurpleShift holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of XPS Network's written reviews are positive against 50% of PurpleShift's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

XPS Network ships an update every 2 weeks, PurpleShift weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
