Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hello Card Dialer at 67% against du's 14%. Hello Card Dialer also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). du's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 2.9) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

du holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: du has 15K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of du's written reviews are positive against 67% of Hello Card Dialer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

du ships an update fortnightly, Hello Card Dialer every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
