Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dyna at 2.3 against i's 1.8. i's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 4) and review sentiment (11% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Dyna holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: i has 40 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of i's written reviews are positive against 0% of Dyna's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
i ships an update every 5 weeks, Dyna every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
