# Mars vs Dadish

The clearest difference is rating: Mars at 4.8 against Dadish's 4.6. Mars also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 3.9K) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mars sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dadish sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mars holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mars has 22K ratings behind it against 3.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Mars's written reviews are positive against 87% of Dadish's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
