Created by a writer for other writers, WordOne lets writers track their daily writing progress. As most successful writers have noted, becoming a successful author requires dedication and discipline. WordOne aims to provide this dedication and discipline by allowing you to set a goal for your writing project(s) and then letting you track your progress in reaching your goal by entering daily (or multiple times a day) word counts. The app calculates detailed statistics based on your entered data and provides you with useful information such as your current average words per day and the number of words a day you'd need to write in order to reach your set goal. This will allow you to plan your writing and to gain the necessary dedication and mindset necessary for writing daily by setting a word count goal that you'd need to achieve. WordOne also provides you with visual indications of progress on each of your projects. The main project listing not only provides a progress meter which is updated as you add new session word counts, but it also colour codes the items in the project listing based on how close (or far) you are from achieving your set targets. But that's not all! WordOne also lets you share your writing progress with other writers via social media so that you can encourage them by showing how much you'd achieved :) WordOne has full support for iOS 8's share extensions and will allow you to share via any supported extensions/applications. On older iOS versions, WordOne supports the standard sharing options provided by iOS itself. WordOne is also great for NaNoWriMo and other such goal-based writing challenges and contests. Note: The pro version of the app allows you to track as many projects as you want. The Lite version only allows tracking one project - if you want to track more than that, then you need to purchase the Pro version. Features: - Support for as many writing projects as you want (in the Pro version). - Color-coded projects listing to easily indicate current overall progress for each project. - Progress bar indicating percentage completed for each project. - View history for word counts on individual days and be able to see the total word count at that point as well as the session word count. - Ability to share session word counts with others via social media such as Facebook or Twitter. - Built-in feedback for bugs and feature requests.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Letterly at 78% against WordOne's 40%. Letterly also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). WordOne's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement 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. WordOne sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Letterly sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WordOne holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Letterly has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of WordOne's written reviews are positive against 78% of Letterly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WordOne ships an update every 11 months, Letterly every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
