Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: LitDC at 80% against Small Door's 25%. LitDC also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). Small Door's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Small Door holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Small Door has 2.3K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of LitDC's written reviews are positive against 25% of Small Door's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LitDC ships an update every 3 months, Small Door every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
