# Wavelength vs Switchboard!

Wavelength's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 5). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Switchboard! holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wavelength has 34 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
