Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: w2solo at 100% against dev.to's 39%. w2solo also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). dev.to's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (32 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
dev.to holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: dev.to has 32 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of w2solo's written reviews are positive against 39% of dev.to's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
w2solo ships an update fortnightly, dev.to monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
