Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dash at 75% against Equalizer Fx's 20%. Dash also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Equalizer Fx's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.1) and ratings volume (41 vs 8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Equalizer Fx holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Equalizer Fx has 41 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Dash's written reviews are positive against 20% of Equalizer Fx's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dash ships an update monthly, Equalizer Fx every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
