# Wojo vs Opal

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wojo at none against Opal's 18. Wojo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Opal's advantage is ratings volume (90K vs 6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Opal sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Wojo asks for nothing beyond the download.

Wojo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Opal has 90K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Wojo's written reviews are positive against 62% of Opal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wojo ships an update monthly, Opal every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
