# Facebook vs Whee

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Whee at none against Facebook's 10. Whee also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (74% vs 40%). Facebook's advantage is ratings volume (29M vs 15) and chart position (#2 vs #38). On price, rating and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Facebook sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whee asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Facebook against 4.4 for Whee. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Facebook has 29M ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 40% of Facebook's written reviews are positive against 74% of Whee's.

Facebook ships an update weekly, Whee fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
