Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DimeVision at 5.0 against Weld's 4.2. DimeVision also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Weld's advantage is ratings volume (28 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Weld sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and DimeVision sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
DimeVision holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Weld has 28 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Weld's written reviews are positive against 100% of DimeVision's.
Weld ships an update every 3 weeks, DimeVision every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
