# DD vs QEDVault

The clearest difference is review sentiment: QEDVault at 100% against DD's 44%. QEDVault also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). DD's advantage is ratings volume (327 vs 4) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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 and QEDVault sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QEDVault holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DD has 327 ratings behind it against 4, 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 100% of QEDVault's.

DD ships an update monthly, QEDVault every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
