Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dangol at 100% against Dojo's 58%. Dangol also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Dojo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (211 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
