# Lovewick vs Waffle

Lovewick and Waffle both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of Lovewick's written reviews are positive against 46% of Waffle's. Waffle's advantage is chart position (#110 vs unranked) and ratings volume (11K vs 1.9K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lovewick sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Waffle sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lovewick holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Waffle has 11K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Lovewick's written reviews are positive against 46% of Waffle's.

Lovewick ships an update every 11 days, Waffle weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
