# Text Twirl vs WordLove

The clearest difference is rating: Text Twirl at 5.0 against WordLove's 4.1. Text Twirl also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 12 months). WordLove's advantage is ratings volume (350 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Twirl sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and WordLove sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Text Twirl holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordLove has 350 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Text Twirl ships an update every 6 weeks, WordLove every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
