Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Overkill Solar at none against Qdash's 2. Overkill Solar also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.6). Qdash's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
