Verdict
Dott and KeyNest Agent both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of KeyNest Agent's written reviews are positive against 30% of Dott's. KeyNest Agent also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Dott's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (9.4K vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
