# ism vs Dump

The clearest difference is rating: ism at 4.7 against Dump's 2.6. ism also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 13) and review sentiment (35% vs 20%). Dump's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ism sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Dump sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ism holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ism has 11K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of ism's written reviews are positive against 20% of Dump's.

ism ships an update every 2 weeks, Dump every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 30, 2026 respectively.
