# FishPond vs Wake

The clearest difference is rating: Wake at 5.0 against FishPond's 3.5. Wake also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). FishPond's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Wake holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FishPond has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
