Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
AQUA Wallet is free to download; CryptoWatch costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AQUA Wallet holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AQUA Wallet has 77 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of CryptoWatch's written reviews are positive against 58% of AQUA Wallet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CryptoWatch ships an update every 2 months, AQUA Wallet every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
