Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dotty at 100% against Arm Simulator's 42%. Dotty also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Arm Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (36K vs 22). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
