# Dollicon vs XP Maker

The clearest difference is ads: XP Maker at none against Dollicon's shown. XP Maker also leads on review sentiment (98% vs 69%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Dollicon's advantage is ratings volume (8.4K vs 104) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dollicon sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and XP Maker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Dollicon against 4.8 for XP Maker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dollicon has 8.4K ratings behind it against 104, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Dollicon's written reviews are positive against 98% of XP Maker's.

Dollicon ships an update monthly, XP Maker every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
