# Wand vs modello*

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Wand at 2.7K against modello*'s 3. Wand also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). modello*'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wand sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and modello* sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $24.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

modello* holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wand has 2.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Wand ships an update every 10 days, modello* every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
