Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Doxie at 4.5 against SharpFox's 2.4. Doxie also leads on ratings volume (741 vs 79). SharpFox's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Doxie holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doxie has 741 ratings behind it against 79, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Doxie's written reviews are positive against 29% of SharpFox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Doxie ships an update every 2 months, SharpFox every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
