Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iDash at 4.4 against AX's 3.2. iDash also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 7 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AX sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and iDash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
iDash holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of AX's written reviews are positive against 50% of iDash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AX ships an update every 7 months, iDash every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on August 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
