# Wipr 2 vs ThreadMaster

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wipr 2 at 80% against ThreadMaster's 33%. Wipr 2 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 11). ThreadMaster's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On update cadence, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ThreadMaster is free to download; Wipr 2 costs $4.99 up front. Wipr 2 sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ThreadMaster sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ThreadMaster holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wipr 2 has 1.3K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Wipr 2's written reviews are positive against 33% of ThreadMaster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wipr 2 ships an update weekly, ThreadMaster every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
