# Waveful vs Reab

The clearest difference is monetization model: Reab at free with in-app purchases against Waveful's subscription. Reab also leads on ads (none vs shown). Waveful's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 64) and review sentiment (93% vs 77%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Waveful sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Reab sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. 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 4.8 for Reab. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Waveful has 1.7K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of Waveful's written reviews are positive against 77% of Reab's.

Waveful ships an update every 4 days, Reab every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
