Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DBKit at none against Commit's shown. Commit's advantage is iOS requirement (10.3 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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. Commit sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and DBKit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
