# Waffle vs ImFine.

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ImFine. at 100% against Waffle's 45%. ImFine. also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Waffle's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Waffle sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and ImFine. sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ImFine. holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Waffle has 11K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of Waffle's written reviews are positive against 100% of ImFine.'s.

Waffle ships an update weekly, ImFine. every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
