Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DEWA at 4.6 against Urent's 3.6. DEWA also leads on ratings volume (6.1K vs 20) and device support (5 vs 2). Urent's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 48%) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DEWA holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DEWA has 6.1K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of DEWA's written reviews are positive against 67% of Urent's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DEWA ships an update every 6 weeks, Urent every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
