# Wiser vs Milestone

Wiser and Milestone both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of Milestone's written reviews are positive against 41% of Wiser's. Wiser's advantage is ratings volume (56K vs 3K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wiser sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Milestone sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Wiser against 4.7 for Milestone. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wiser has 56K ratings behind it against 3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 41% of Wiser's written reviews are positive against 77% of Milestone's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
