# WedTexts vs Goalyo

The clearest difference is rating: Goalyo at 5.0 against WedTexts's 3.6. Goalyo also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). WedTexts's advantage is ratings volume (88 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WedTexts sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Goalyo asks for nothing beyond the download.

Goalyo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WedTexts has 88 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
