Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WFMT at 3.7 against גלצ's 3.2. גלצ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (58% vs 32%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WFMT holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: גלצ has 1.8K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of WFMT's written reviews are positive against 58% of גלצ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WFMT ships an update every 7 months, גלצ every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
