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. WEJAM sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. TheGaits asks for nothing beyond the download.
TheGaits holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WEJAM has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of TheGaits's written reviews are positive against 80% of WEJAM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TheGaits ships an update every 6 months, WEJAM every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on June 3, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
