# Plexamp vs WiiM Home

The clearest difference is rating: Plexamp at 4.7 against WiiM Home's 3.9. Plexamp also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 1.9K). WiiM Home's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plexamp sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. WiiM Home asks for nothing beyond the download.

Plexamp holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plexamp has 10K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Plexamp's written reviews are positive against 68% of WiiM Home's.
