# WavePulse vs SpeedHalo

The clearest difference is rating: SpeedHalo at 5.0 against WavePulse's 2.5. SpeedHalo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly). WavePulse's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (80 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WavePulse sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and SpeedHalo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SpeedHalo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WavePulse has 80 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WavePulse ships an update monthly, SpeedHalo every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
