Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ItemKeeper at none against Dotory's shown. ItemKeeper also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 22 months). Dotory's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 57%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
