Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Wafrn holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Lemmios's written reviews are positive against 67% of Wafrn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lemmios ships an update every 2 weeks, Wafrn every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
