Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Drancia at none against Dadish's shown. Drancia also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Dadish's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (4K vs 117). On price, rating, review sentiment 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. Drancia sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Dadish sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Drancia against 4.6 for Dadish. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dadish has 4K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 87% and 87% positive.
Drancia ships an update every 6 months, Dadish monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
