# DD vs EZFi

The clearest difference is rating: DD at 4.2 against EZFi's 2.7. DD also leads on review sentiment (44% vs 12%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 18 months). EZFi's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DD sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 3 months. EZFi asks for nothing beyond the download.

DD holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DD has 324 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of DD's written reviews are positive against 12% of EZFi's.

DD ships an update monthly, EZFi every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
