# Pirate Go vs Dot Fill

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dot Fill at 100% against Pirate Go's 46%. Dot Fill also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Pirate Go's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (269 vs 14). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pirate Go sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dot Fill sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dot Fill holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pirate Go has 269 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Pirate Go's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dot Fill's.

Pirate Go ships an update every 3 weeks, Dot Fill weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
