Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WEOL at 100% against MyFOX8's 31%. MyFOX8's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MyFOX8 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyFOX8 has 2.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of MyFOX8's written reviews are positive against 100% of WEOL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyFOX8 ships an update every 6 weeks, WEOL every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
