Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Epoch Li at every 3 weeks against Wakespeed's every 5 months. Epoch Li also leads on rating (2.6 vs 2.2) and ratings volume (70 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Epoch Li holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epoch Li has 70 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Wakespeed's written reviews are positive against 29% of Epoch Li's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wakespeed ships an update every 5 months, Epoch Li every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
