# Wick vs Cinch

The clearest difference is rating: Cinch at 5.0 against Wick's 4.2. Cinch also leads on ads (none vs shown). Wick's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (74 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases 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 and Cinch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cinch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wick has 74 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Wick ships an update every 9 days, Cinch weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
