Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Microsoft Edge at 4.7 against Wrench's 3.7. Microsoft Edge also leads on ratings volume (599K vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Wrench's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (67% vs 58%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Microsoft Edge holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Microsoft Edge has 599K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Microsoft Edge's written reviews are positive against 67% of Wrench's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Microsoft Edge ships an update weekly, Wrench every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
