# Wind Lite vs WindWise

The clearest difference is rating: WindWise at 5.0 against Wind Lite's 3.7. WindWise also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Wind Lite's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1) and iOS requirement (7.0.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wind Lite sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. WindWise asks for nothing beyond the download.
