# Waffle vs Sharing Me

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sharing Me at 100% against Waffle's 46%. Sharing Me also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Waffle's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Waffle sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Sharing Me sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Waffle holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Waffle has 11K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Waffle's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sharing Me's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
