# Wavve Boating vs Float LOZ

The clearest difference is price: Wavve Boating at Free against Float LOZ's $2.99. Wavve Boating also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks). Float LOZ's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 52%). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Wavve Boating is free to download; Float LOZ costs $2.99 up front. Wavve Boating sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Float LOZ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wavve Boating holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wavve Boating has 6.6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Wavve Boating's written reviews are positive against 75% of Float LOZ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wavve Boating ships an update every 6 days, Float LOZ every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
