# WordPress vs Affiliator

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WordPress at none against Affiliator's 1. WordPress also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 1.2K). Affiliator's advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 37%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Affiliator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. WordPress asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for WordPress against 4.7 for Affiliator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordPress has 22K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 37% of WordPress's written reviews are positive against 49% of Affiliator's.

WordPress ships an update every 3 weeks, Affiliator every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
