# Dataplicity vs AVR Tutorial

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dataplicity at none against AVR Tutorial's 10. Dataplicity also leads on ratings volume (163 vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). AVR Tutorial's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AVR Tutorial sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Dataplicity asks for nothing beyond the download.

AVR Tutorial holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dataplicity has 163 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Dataplicity's written reviews are positive against 75% of AVR Tutorial's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

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