More About DIME® The DIME Clean™ Promise means that DIME® is committed to providing clean and safe alternatives for traditional skincare and beauty products without sacrificing performance. We protect the integrity of our mission by aiming to use ingredients with low EWG hazard ratings across all products. We are 100% transparent about every ingredient included in each of our formulas. Our products never contain parabens, sulfates, phthalates, or BPA/BPS. To ensure every single ingredient in our products is healthy and non-toxic, we utilize an in-depth database from a third-party research group called EWG Skin Deep. The EWG or Environmental Working Group is an activist group specializing in agricultural subsidies and toxic chemicals research. The group advocates for safer consumer products and transparency. Products and ingredients are rated on a hazard scale from 1-10, one being the safest and ten being the most toxic. We only use the highest quality ingredients in DIME® products with low hazard ratings from the EWG. With over 1 Million customers, we’re excited to watch the DIME family continue to grow with us and on our new DIME® Beauty App.

Shared grocery lists without another subscription. Stores is a calmer grocery list for couples, partners, and households. Add something from home, keep the details with the item, and watch the same list update while either of you shops. ONE PERSONAL LIST IS FREE Use one list and the everyday tools on your own for free. Premium is a one-time $4.99 upgrade in the U.S. It unlocks sharing, unlimited lists, camera tools, and more. The person you invite joins that shared list free. Their other lists stay Free unless they upgrade. App Store pricing may vary by storefront. SHOP THE SAME LIST Share with a short code. No contact access needed. Add items, leave comments, tag where to buy them, and check things off together. Changes stay in sync on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. KNOW WHERE TO BUY IT Tag items by store, then filter your list while you shop. With Premium, optional location reminders on iPhone and iPad can nudge you when you arrive. Tap the alert to open the list filtered for that store, or clear the filter to see everything again. Your precise location and saved branch coordinates stay on your device. KEEP THE DETAILS WITH THE ITEM With Premium, leave a comment when the brand, size, or flavor matters. On iPhone and iPad, you can also scan a barcode or attach a photo of the exact thing to buy. REMIND YOURSELF AT THE RIGHT TIME Add due dates and times, choose an exact alert or a daily due digest, and repeat items by weekday or day of the month. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. Stores has no ads or in-app analytics. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising or tracking. Solo use does not require an account. We built Stores because the two of us could not agree on a grocery list. We are a married couple making Stores in Oregon, and we still use it for our own groceries every week.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DIME® at none against Stores's 1. DIME® also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 5). Stores's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
