# Manything vs WIWACAM

The clearest difference is rating: WIWACAM at 5.0 against Manything's 3.6. WIWACAM also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Manything's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 17%) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Manything sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and WIWACAM sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WIWACAM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manything has 392 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Manything's written reviews are positive against 17% of WIWACAM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Manything ships an update every 5 weeks, WIWACAM every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
