D4Planner vs Dark & Builder

D4Planner is a free Diablo IV planner and companion site provided by ATLAS FORGE LLC. Its build planner covers skills, equipment, Paragon, specialization, and mercenaries, with options to save, load, import, share, and embed builds. An interactive map tracks points of interest including dungeons, Altars of Lilith, quests, bosses, vendors, events, and chests; users can export, import, or clear map data. The event tracker shows expected World Boss, Helltide, and Legion event times and offers push notifications. iOS users must add D4Planner to their home screen to enable notifications. The site also provides Diablo IV build guides, tier lists, game guides, and news. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its App Store listing supports iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 13 or later. D4Planner says it is not affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment. The free plan is ad-supported; a Discord subscription removes ads, but no price is listed for that subscription.

Dark & Builder is a build planner and community for Dark and Darker, with tools for planning characters and sharing builds. Its calculator lets players select a class, gear, perks, skills and spells, then view live character stats. Players can publish builds, find others’ builds, and like or comment on them; filters cover class, dungeon and patch. An item database lists stats for in-game gear, weapons and accessories. The maker says game data is refreshed with each patch. The service is available on the web, iOS and Android, and its core features are not behind a paywall. The terms also describe ads on web and mobile, optional purchases and a recurring premium subscription, but list no prices. Purchases are non-refundable, and subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Dark & Builder says it is unofficial and not affiliated with or endorsed by IRONMACE.
