# Pharos Pro vs Neko Dash

The clearest difference is price: Neko Dash at Free against Pharos Pro's $2.99. Neko Dash also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Pharos Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (105 vs 8). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Neko Dash is free to download; Pharos Pro costs $2.99 up front. Neko Dash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Pharos Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

Neko Dash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pharos Pro has 105 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Pharos Pro's written reviews are positive against 52% of Neko Dash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pharos Pro ships an update every 6 weeks, Neko Dash every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
