Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dott at 4.8 against Gliize's 3.8. Dott also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (9.4K vs 10). Gliize's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dott holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dott has 9.4K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Dott's written reviews are positive against 50% of Gliize's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dott ships an update weekly, Gliize every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
