Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ham Radio Toolbox at 4.7 against DTMF Dial's 1.0. Ham Radio Toolbox also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 27 months) and ratings volume (197 vs 5). DTMF Dial's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Ham Radio Toolbox holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ham Radio Toolbox has 197 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of DTMF Dial's written reviews are positive against 33% of Ham Radio Toolbox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DTMF Dial ships an update every 27 months, Ham Radio Toolbox every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
