# Wolf vs The Alpha

The clearest difference is rating: Wolf at 4.6 against The Alpha's 4.0. Wolf also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9.7K vs 49). The Alpha's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wolf sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and The Alpha sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wolf holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wolf has 9.7K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 76% and 76% positive.

Wolf ships an update every 6 weeks, The Alpha fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
