Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Square Go at fortnightly against MetroWaxx's every 9 months. Square Go also leads on ratings volume (184K vs 99) and chart position (#30 vs unranked). MetroWaxx's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 84%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for MetroWaxx against 4.9 for Square Go. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Square Go has 184K ratings behind it against 99, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of MetroWaxx's written reviews are positive against 84% of Square Go's.
MetroWaxx ships an update every 9 months, Square Go fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
