# DD vs QuRouter

The clearest difference is rating: DD at 4.2 against QuRouter's 3.0. DD also leads on ratings volume (324 vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). QuRouter's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and review sentiment (67% vs 44%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

DD holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DD has 324 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of DD's written reviews are positive against 67% of QuRouter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

DD ships an update monthly, QuRouter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
