# Wolow vs Aetheryte

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Aetheryte at 100% against Wolow's 57%. Aetheryte also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3). Wolow's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 42) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wolow sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Aetheryte sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
