# Storylines vs WebWanderlust

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WebWanderlust at 100% against Storylines's 52%. WebWanderlust also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 11 days). Storylines's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (94 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Storylines sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and WebWanderlust sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Storylines holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Storylines has 94 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Storylines's written reviews are positive against 100% of WebWanderlust's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Storylines ships an update every 11 days, WebWanderlust every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
