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. Waxstat sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and WPAT sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Waxstat against 5.0 for WPAT. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Waxstat has 50 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Waxstat ships an update every 3 weeks, WPAT fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
