Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AWS Wickr at none against Milnerva's 2. AWS Wickr also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 10) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Milnerva's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 46%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AWS Wickr holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AWS Wickr has 2.3K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of AWS Wickr's written reviews are positive against 75% of Milnerva's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AWS Wickr ships an update every 4 weeks, Milnerva every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
