Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sprite at 4.3 against Dot Style's 2.5. Sprite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). Dot Style's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dot Style sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sprite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sprite holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16 and 12 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Dot Style's written reviews are positive against 0% of Sprite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dot Style ships an update every 4 months, Sprite fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
