Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Wave holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 10 respectively.

Wave ships an update every 6 weeks, Share Ride Driver every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on July 23, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
