# Ever After vs WedTexts

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ever After at 88% against WedTexts's 39%. Ever After also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 88). WedTexts's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ever After sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and WedTexts sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ever After holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ever After has 3.2K ratings behind it against 88, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Ever After's written reviews are positive against 39% of WedTexts's.

Ever After ships an update every 5 months, WedTexts every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
