# Dext vs ZeroTime®

The clearest difference is rating: Dext at 4.8 against ZeroTime®'s 3.5. Dext also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (62% vs 33%). ZeroTime®'s advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dext sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and ZeroTime® sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dext holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dext has 7.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Dext's written reviews are positive against 33% of ZeroTime®'s.

Dext ships an update every 2 weeks, ZeroTime® every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
