# WWE vs Side+

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Side+ at 96% against WWE's 47%. Side+ also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). WWE's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WWE sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Side+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Side+ holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5.5K and 7.1K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of WWE's written reviews are positive against 96% of Side+'s.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
