Verdict
WordPress and FreeWeb both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of FreeWeb's written reviews are positive against 37% of WordPress's. WordPress's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (22K vs 567). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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. FreeWeb sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. 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 FreeWeb. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WordPress has 22K ratings behind it against 567, 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 86% of FreeWeb's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
