ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WOL holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Site Checker has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Site Checker's written reviews are positive against 27% of WOL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Site Checker ships an update every 2 months, WOL every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
