# Foundation vs Warline

The clearest difference is rating: Warline at 4.9 against Foundation's 4.6. Foundation's advantage is review sentiment (62% vs 45%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Foundation sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Warline sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Warline holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9.1K and 25K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Foundation's written reviews are positive against 45% of Warline'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 fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
