Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cask at none against Demetrios's shown. Cask also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Demetrios's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Demetrios sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cask sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Demetrios holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Demetrios has 95 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Demetrios's written reviews are positive against 75% of Cask's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Demetrios ships an update fortnightly, Cask every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
