Join us! --- Things you might want to know: You can use all of Werdsmith's features for free, but there are limits, for example in the number of projects you can add, the number of writing prompts you can create, or the amount of time you can spend in Novel Mode or using app themes. You can increase or remove these limits by becoming a Werdsmith member. Sync, backup and sharing features are optional, but require a free Werdsmith account. If you choose to become a member, you’ll be charged through your iTunes account at the end of your one-week free trial period, unless you cancel your membership at least 24 hours before it begins. Your subscription will renew automatically, unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage, upgrade, downgrade or cancel your subscription in the app's Settings or by going to your App Store account settings. Keep in mind that any unused portion of your free trial period is forfeited if you purchase a membership before the end of the trial.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: End Boredom at none against Werdsmith's 7. End Boredom also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). Werdsmith's advantage is ratings volume (8.1K vs 6). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Werdsmith holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Werdsmith has 8.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Werdsmith's written reviews are positive against 100% of End Boredom's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
