# JoinDispatch vs Last Call

The clearest difference is rating: Last Call at 4.7 against JoinDispatch's 4.2. Last Call also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). JoinDispatch's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (898 vs 7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JoinDispatch sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Last Call sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Last Call holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JoinDispatch has 898 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of JoinDispatch's written reviews are positive against 50% of Last Call's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

JoinDispatch ships an update weekly, Last Call every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on August 26, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
