# TestNav vs DAC App

The clearest difference is rating: DAC App at 1.8 against TestNav's 1.6. TestNav's advantage is ratings volume (99 vs 16) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

DAC App holds the better App Store score, 1.8 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TestNav has 99 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of TestNav's written reviews are positive against 20% of DAC App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TestNav ships an update every 8 months, DAC App every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
