Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DSPTCH at 91% against FastField's 50%. FastField's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (17K vs 29). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FastField holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FastField has 17K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of FastField's written reviews are positive against 91% of DSPTCH's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FastField ships an update fortnightly, DSPTCH every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
