# EMERGENCY Mobile vs Dial

The clearest difference is rating: EMERGENCY Mobile at 4.6 against Dial's 3.3. EMERGENCY Mobile also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 43%) and ratings volume (703 vs 23). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EMERGENCY Mobile sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Dial sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EMERGENCY Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EMERGENCY Mobile has 703 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of EMERGENCY Mobile's written reviews are positive against 43% of Dial's.

EMERGENCY Mobile ships an update every 3 months, Dial every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
