# Waveful vs CreateHQ

The clearest difference is ads: CreateHQ at none against Waveful's shown. CreateHQ also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Waveful's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Waveful sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and CreateHQ sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Waveful against 5.0 for CreateHQ. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Waveful has 1.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
