Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dotsu at 4.6 against Ten Buttons's 4.0. Dotsu also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). Ten Buttons's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 69%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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 Ten Buttons sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dotsu holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dotsu has 345 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Dotsu's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ten Buttons's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dotsu ships an update fortnightly, Ten Buttons every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
