Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GetDismissed at 59% against DoNotPay's 11%. GetDismissed also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). DoNotPay's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 2.1) and ratings volume (7.6K vs 16). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DoNotPay holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DoNotPay has 7.6K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of GetDismissed's written reviews are positive against 11% of DoNotPay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GetDismissed ships an update every 6 weeks, DoNotPay every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
