Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dotsu at 4.6 against Smoosh!'s 3.9. Dotsu also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (341 vs 31). On price, review sentiment, ads 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. Dotsu sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Smoosh! sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dotsu holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dotsu has 341 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Dotsu's written reviews are positive against 73% of Smoosh!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dotsu ships an update every 2 weeks, Smoosh! every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
