Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: iDatabase at Free against Touch Annotator's $5.99. iDatabase also leads on rating (4.4 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (513 vs 1). Touch Annotator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iDatabase holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iDatabase has 513 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of iDatabase's written reviews are positive against 60% of Touch Annotator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iDatabase ships an update fortnightly, Touch Annotator every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
