Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: INKBIRD at 3.7 against W01's 1.4. INKBIRD also leads on ratings volume (6.9K vs 16) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
INKBIRD holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: INKBIRD has 6.9K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of INKBIRD's written reviews are positive against 29% of W01's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
INKBIRD ships an update fortnightly, W01 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
