Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OptionWave at 5.0 against OptionPosition+'s 3.8. OptionWave also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). OptionPosition+'s advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OptionPosition+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and OptionWave sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
OptionWave holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OptionPosition+ has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
OptionPosition+ ships an update every 5 weeks, OptionWave every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
