# StarEye vs WattDip

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WattDip at 100% against StarEye's 11%. WattDip also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). StarEye's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 3) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StarEye sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and WattDip sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WattDip holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StarEye has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 11% of StarEye's written reviews are positive against 100% of WattDip's.

StarEye ships an update fortnightly, WattDip weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
