Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FolderStory at 85% against WriCo's 42%. FolderStory also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ratings volume (17 vs 4). WriCo's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 2.9) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WriCo holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of FolderStory's written reviews are positive against 42% of WriCo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FolderStory ships an update every 2 months, WriCo every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
