# Dash vs ArtTrails

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dash at 65% against ArtTrails's 0%. Dash also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). ArtTrails's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.4) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dash sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ArtTrails sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ArtTrails holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dash has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Dash's written reviews are positive against 0% of ArtTrails's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dash ships an update weekly, ArtTrails every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
