# Dawn vs Tapject

The clearest difference is rating: Tapject at 5.0 against Dawn's 4.1. Tapject also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days). Dawn's advantage is ratings volume (59 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dawn sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Tapject sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tapject holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dawn has 59 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Dawn ships an update every 11 days, Tapject every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
