# Wake vs SnowHaze

The clearest difference is price: SnowHaze at Free against Wake's $0.99. SnowHaze also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (503 vs 4). Wake's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

SnowHaze is free to download; Wake costs $0.99 up front. Wake sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SnowHaze sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SnowHaze holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SnowHaze has 503 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Wake's written reviews are positive against 77% of SnowHaze's.

Wake ships an update monthly, SnowHaze every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
