Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fora Communities at 4.7 against WAVE Intercom's 3.7. Fora Communities also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 15) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). WAVE Intercom's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (36% vs 24%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Fora Communities holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fora Communities has 1.3K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Fora Communities's written reviews are positive against 36% of WAVE Intercom's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fora Communities ships an update every 9 days, WAVE Intercom monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
