# Dancing Borderline vs Wave Dash

The clearest difference is rating: Wave Dash at 4.6 against Dancing Borderline's 3.9. Wave Dash also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 21) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Dancing Borderline's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dancing Borderline sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Wave Dash sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wave Dash holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wave Dash has 11K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Dancing Borderline's written reviews are positive against 84% of Wave Dash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dancing Borderline ships an update monthly, Wave Dash fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
