Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Trib E at 80% against WDRB+WAVE's 45%. Trib E also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.6). WDRB+WAVE's advantage is ratings volume (4.4K vs 25) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WDRB+WAVE holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WDRB+WAVE has 4.4K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of WDRB+WAVE's written reviews are positive against 80% of Trib E's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WDRB+WAVE ships an update every 2 months, Trib E every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
