Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LowGlow LED at none against Dot's shown. LowGlow LED also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Dot's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
