# wizBG vs GlucoWatch

The clearest difference is rating: wizBG at 5.0 against GlucoWatch's 3.6. wizBG also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). GlucoWatch's advantage is ratings volume (209 vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GlucoWatch sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. wizBG asks for nothing beyond the download.

wizBG holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6.

Written reviews point the same way: 100% of wizBG's written reviews are positive against 69% of GlucoWatch's.
