# WhatCall vs Earflow

The clearest difference is rating: Earflow at 5.0 against WhatCall's 4.2. Earflow also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). WhatCall's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (600 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WhatCall sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Earflow sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Earflow holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WhatCall has 600 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WhatCall ships an update every 5 weeks, Earflow every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
