# DD vs WrtHub

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WrtHub at 100% against DD's 44%. WrtHub also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 9). DD's advantage is ratings volume (324 vs 23). On price, update cadence, 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. WrtHub asks for nothing beyond the download.

WrtHub holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2.
