# Dot vs Connect Dots

The clearest difference is ads: Dot at none against Connect Dots's shown. Dot also leads on ratings volume (370 vs 3). Connect Dots's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dot sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Connect Dots sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Connect Dots holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dot has 370 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Dot's written reviews are positive against 100% of Connect Dots's.

Dot ships an update every 4 months, Connect Dots every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
