Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iDatabase at Free against allThings's $1.99. iDatabase also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (510 vs 1). allThings's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 52%) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

iDatabase is free to download; allThings costs $1.99 up front. iDatabase sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. allThings asks for nothing beyond the download.
iDatabase holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iDatabase has 510 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 89% of allThings's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iDatabase ships an update fortnightly, allThings every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
