# WavRouter vs TP

The clearest difference is rating: TP at 2.0 against WavRouter's 1.4. TP also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). WavRouter's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (20 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

TP holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WavRouter has 20 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of WavRouter's written reviews are positive against 0% of TP's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WavRouter ships an update every 5 weeks, TP every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
