# DictaWiz vs Ember

The clearest difference is rating: Ember at 5.0 against DictaWiz's 4.8. DictaWiz's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 3) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DictaWiz sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Ember sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ember holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DictaWiz has 21 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DictaWiz ships an update every 2 weeks, Ember every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on August 17, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
