GET YOUR PAY UP TO 2 DAYS FASTER WITH ASAP DIRECT DEPOSIT™ Direct Deposit early availability depends on timing of payor’s payment instructions and fraud prevention restrictions may apply. As such, the availability or timing of early direct deposit may vary from pay period to pay period. Make sure the name and social security number on file with your employer or benefits provider matches what’s on your GoBank account exactly. We will not be able to deposit your payment if we are unable to match recipients.

FREE ATMS*. * See app for free ATM locations. 4 free withdrawals per calendar month, $3.00 per withdrawal thereafter. $3 for out-of-network withdrawals and $.50 for balance inquiries, plus any fee the ATM owner may charge. Limits apply. PAY BILLS Pay rent, or any bill with the GoBank app or website. Need to send a check to your landlord (or anyone else)? No problem. We’ll mail the check for free.

Fees may apply. MOBILE DEPOSITS Our nearest bank branch is in your pocket. Use your phone to scan a check and deposit it into your account. You may be asked to upload your ID.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dama Mobile at 4.8 against GoBank's 4.1. Dama Mobile also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). GoBank's advantage is ratings volume (5.3K vs 76) and review sentiment (17% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Dama Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoBank has 5.3K ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of GoBank's written reviews are positive against 0% of Dama Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GoBank ships an update every 6 weeks, Dama Mobile every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
