Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dataplicity at 79% against FPPMon's 0%. Dataplicity also leads on ratings volume (163 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). FPPMon's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FPPMon 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 0% of FPPMon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dataplicity ships an update every 3 months, FPPMon every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
