# Wavelength vs Perfect Match

The clearest difference is ads: Wavelength at none against Perfect Match's shown. Wavelength also leads on ratings volume (65K vs 147) and chart position (#23 vs unranked). Perfect Match's advantage is review sentiment (93% vs 81%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wavelength sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Perfect Match sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wavelength holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wavelength has 65K ratings behind it against 147, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Wavelength's written reviews are positive against 93% of Perfect Match's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wavelength ships an update every 3 weeks, Perfect Match every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
