Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dott at 4.8 against TAO FlexO's 4.2. Dott also leads on ratings volume (9.3K vs 5). TAO FlexO's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (56% vs 30%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Dott holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dott has 9.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Dott's written reviews are positive against 56% of TAO FlexO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dott ships an update weekly, TAO FlexO every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
