Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dumpert at 53% against NPO Start's 4%. Dumpert also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (140 vs 5). NPO Start's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

NPO Start ships an update fortnightly, Dumpert every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
