Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: xDelete at none against Dot's shown. xDelete also leads on ratings volume (498 vs 3) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Dot's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs paid) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
