# PhaseShift vs Wavecore

The clearest difference is rating: PhaseShift at 5.0 against Wavecore's 4.6. PhaseShift also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Wavecore's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PhaseShift sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Wavecore sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PhaseShift holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wavecore has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

PhaseShift ships an update every 2 days, Wavecore every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
