# INTVL vs wayloop

The clearest difference is ads: wayloop at none against INTVL's shown. wayloop also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). INTVL's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 2) and chart position (#68 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. INTVL sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and wayloop sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

wayloop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: INTVL has 5.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

INTVL ships an update every 6 days, wayloop every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
