# The BuddyUp® vs The Wim App

The clearest difference is rating: The Wim App at 5.0 against The BuddyUp®'s 4.5. The BuddyUp®'s advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The BuddyUp® sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $22.49 per month and The Wim App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Wim App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The BuddyUp® has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
