Verdict
Wahoo and Legacy TriDot both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 97% of Legacy TriDot's written reviews are positive against 43% of Wahoo's. Legacy TriDot also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). Wahoo's advantage is ratings volume (43K vs 263). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wahoo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Legacy TriDot sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Wahoo against 4.7 for Legacy TriDot. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wahoo has 43K ratings behind it against 263, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of Wahoo's written reviews are positive against 97% of Legacy TriDot's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
