Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wide at 4.1 against MBC VOTE's 2.9. Wide also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). MBC VOTE's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.3). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Wide sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month and MBC VOTE sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Wide holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 56 and 40 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Wide's written reviews are positive against 45% of MBC VOTE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wide ships an update every 2 weeks, MBC VOTE every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
