Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DEX at none against Dex.App's shown. DEX also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 24 months). Dex.App's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
