# Mitos.is vs Dot Eater

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dot Eater at none against Mitos.is's 12. Dot Eater also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.6). Mitos.is's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (823 vs 15). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mitos.is sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Dot Eater asks for nothing beyond the download.

Mitos.is holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mitos.is has 823 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Mitos.is's written reviews are positive against 72% of Dot Eater's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mitos.is ships an update every 6 days, Dot Eater every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and August 14, 2026 respectively.
