# Wave Dash vs Arrow Tap

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wave Dash at 84% against Arrow Tap's 22%. Wave Dash also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.1) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). Arrow Tap's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wave Dash sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Arrow Tap asks for nothing beyond the download.

Wave Dash holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1.
