Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dorsata at 80% against SCCM POC's 17%. Dorsata also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 18.0). SCCM POC's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (110 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SCCM POC holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SCCM POC has 110 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Dorsata's written reviews are positive against 17% of SCCM POC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dorsata ships an update every 2 months, SCCM POC every 5 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
