# Themify vs WowKit

The clearest difference is ads: Themify at none against WowKit's shown. Themify also leads on ratings volume (346K vs 1.6K) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). WowKit's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 44%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Themify sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and WowKit sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Themify holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Themify has 346K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Themify's written reviews are positive against 74% of WowKit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Themify ships an update every 3 weeks, WowKit every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
