# Wave vs Statement

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Statement at 13 against Wave's 1. Wave's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Wave against 5.0 for Statement. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Statement has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Wave ships an update every 8 days, Statement fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
