# Wavve Boating vs One

The clearest difference is rating: Wavve Boating at 4.7 against One's 2.8. Wavve Boating also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 18%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wavve Boating sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and One sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $24.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
