Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Diwartapati at 4.8 against Mahabote's 4.3. Diwartapati also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 13 months). Mahabote's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Diwartapati holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diwartapati has 678 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Mahabote's written reviews are positive against 75% of Diwartapati's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mahabote ships an update every 13 months, Diwartapati every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
