Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dojo Slash at none against Only One's shown. Dojo Slash also leads on review sentiment (99% vs 88%) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). Only One's advantage is ratings volume (6.3K vs 79). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Only One sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dojo Slash sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Only One against 4.8 for Dojo Slash. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Only One has 6.3K ratings behind it against 79, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Only One's written reviews are positive against 99% of Dojo Slash's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
