Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dawayiy at 78% against Altibbi's 35%. Dawayiy also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Altibbi's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 10). On price, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Altibbi holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Altibbi has 2.8K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Altibbi's written reviews are positive against 78% of Dawayiy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Altibbi ships an update every 3 weeks, Dawayiy every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
