# CocoonWeaver vs Woah

CocoonWeaver and Woah both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 81% of CocoonWeaver's written reviews are positive against 42% of Woah's. CocoonWeaver also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). Woah's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 319).

Both are free to download. CocoonWeaver sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Woah sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for CocoonWeaver against 4.6 for Woah. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Woah has 1.7K ratings behind it against 319, so its average is the more settled of the two.
