# Currency vs Wonderous

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wonderous at none against Currency's 3. Wonderous also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Currency's advantage is ratings volume (79K vs 20) and chart position (#85 vs unranked). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Currency sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Wonderous asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Currency against 4.8 for Wonderous. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Currency has 79K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Currency's written reviews are positive against 100% of Wonderous's.

Currency ships an update every 5 weeks, Wonderous every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
