# CloudEdge vs Wansview Cloud

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wansview Cloud at none against CloudEdge's 21. Wansview Cloud also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3). CloudEdge's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 45%) and chart position (#77 vs unranked). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CloudEdge sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Wansview Cloud asks for nothing beyond the download.

Wansview Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21K and 55K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of CloudEdge's written reviews are positive against 45% of Wansview Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CloudEdge ships an update every 2 weeks, Wansview Cloud every 10 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
