# Wilgo vs Alex

The clearest difference is ads: Alex at none against Wilgo's shown. Alex also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). Wilgo's advantage is ratings volume (33 vs 6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wilgo sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and Alex sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Alex holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wilgo has 33 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 98% of Wilgo's written reviews are positive against 100% of Alex's.

Wilgo ships an update every 9 days, Alex every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
