# Tool vs Dialog

The clearest difference is ads: Tool at none against Dialog's shown. Tool also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 days) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Dialog's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 7). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Tool against 4.9 for Dialog. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dialog has 37 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Tool's written reviews are positive against 89% of Dialog's.

Tool ships an update daily, Dialog every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
