Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Numerica at 5.0 against Wave's 4.6. Wave's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Numerica holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wave has 3.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Wave ships an update fortnightly, Numerica weekly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
