# Amazon Shopping vs Dollar Tree

The clearest difference is rating: Amazon Shopping at 4.8 against Dollar Tree's 3.2. Amazon Shopping also leads on ratings volume (8.4M vs 464) and chart position (#8 vs #108). Dollar Tree's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Amazon Shopping sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Dollar Tree asks for nothing beyond the download.

Amazon Shopping holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amazon Shopping has 8.4M ratings behind it against 464, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of Amazon Shopping's written reviews are positive against 22% of Dollar Tree's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
