# WAVEAT vs RAVON

The clearest difference is monetization model: WAVEAT at free against RAVON's free with in-app purchases. WAVEAT also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). RAVON's advantage is ratings volume (84 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WAVEAT sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and RAVON sells 17 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WAVEAT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RAVON has 84 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of WAVEAT's written reviews are positive against 67% of RAVON's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
