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.
Jafza holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DEWA has 6.1K ratings behind it against 67, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of DEWA's written reviews are positive against 100% of Jafza's.
DEWA ships an update every 6 weeks, Jafza every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
