# Scale vs Wavy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wavy at 100% against Scale's 55%. Wavy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Scale's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (50K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scale sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Wavy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scale holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scale has 50K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Scale's written reviews are positive against 100% of Wavy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Scale ships an update weekly, Wavy every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
