# WeCatch vs GO Raid Party

The clearest difference is rating: GO Raid Party at 4.8 against WeCatch's 4.2. GO Raid Party also leads on ratings volume (27K vs 2K). WeCatch's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 44%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WeCatch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GO Raid Party sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GO Raid Party holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GO Raid Party has 27K ratings behind it against 2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of WeCatch's written reviews are positive against 44% of GO Raid Party'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 October 15, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
