Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PapiRubber at 5.0 against Daily Dadish's 4.4. PapiRubber also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Daily Dadish's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (508 vs 8). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Daily Dadish sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PapiRubber asks for nothing beyond the download.
PapiRubber holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Daily Dadish has 508 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of PapiRubber's written reviews are positive against 82% of Daily Dadish's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PapiRubber ships an update every 10 months, Daily Dadish every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
