# WDET vs US

The clearest difference is review sentiment: US at 100% against WDET's 33%. US also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.1) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 months). WDET's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

US holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WDET has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of WDET's written reviews are positive against 100% of US's.

WDET ships an update every 11 months, US every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
