# Wick vs DormWay

The clearest difference is rating: Wick at 4.3 against DormWay's 3.2. Wick also leads on ratings volume (79 vs 9) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). DormWay's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wick sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. DormWay asks for nothing beyond the download.

Wick holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wick has 79 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Wick's written reviews are positive against 65% of DormWay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 14, 2026.
