# Whirlpool vs iQua2

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Whirlpool at 27K against iQua2's 666. Whirlpool also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). iQua2's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 22%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Whirlpool against 4.8 for iQua2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whirlpool has 27K ratings behind it against 666, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 22% of Whirlpool's written reviews are positive against 38% of iQua2's.

Whirlpool ships an update every 5 weeks, iQua2 fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
