Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: SYSTEM UTIL Dashboard at $0.99 against HAM's $14.99. SYSTEM UTIL Dashboard also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (828 vs 7). HAM's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SYSTEM UTIL Dashboard holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SYSTEM UTIL Dashboard has 828 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of SYSTEM UTIL Dashboard's written reviews are positive against 69% of HAM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SYSTEM UTIL Dashboard ships an update every 5 months, HAM monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
