# ThetaWave vs Lemora

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lemora at 100% against ThetaWave's 55%. Lemora also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). ThetaWave's advantage is ratings volume (51 vs 3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ThetaWave sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.90 per month and Lemora sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lemora holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ThetaWave has 51 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of ThetaWave's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lemora's.

ThetaWave ships an update fortnightly, Lemora every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
