Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Dockwa at 34K against Ride Rydz's 35. Ride Rydz's advantage is review sentiment (94% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 18.6). On price, rating, 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.
Dockwa holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dockwa has 34K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Dockwa's written reviews are positive against 94% of Ride Rydz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
