# Spaceteam vs Wavelength

The clearest difference is update cadence: Wavelength at every 3 weeks against Spaceteam's every 4 months. Wavelength also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (64K vs 3K). Spaceteam's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spaceteam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Wavelength sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wavelength holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wavelength has 64K ratings behind it against 3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Spaceteam's written reviews are positive against 81% of Wavelength's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Spaceteam ships an update every 4 months, Wavelength every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
