# Dot vs VoiceClaw Realtime

The clearest difference is rating: Dot at 4.8 against VoiceClaw Realtime's 3.7. Dot also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (42 vs 6). VoiceClaw Realtime's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dot sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and VoiceClaw Realtime sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dot has 42 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Dot ships an update every 2 weeks, VoiceClaw Realtime every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
