# TruDash vs Quartermaster

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Quartermaster at 48 against TruDash's 5. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TruDash sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year and Quartermaster sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for TruDash against 5.0 for Quartermaster. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quartermaster has 48 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of TruDash's written reviews are positive against 93% of Quartermaster's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
