# Wunder vs Inkive

The clearest difference is rating: Inkive at 5.0 against Wunder's 3.0. Wunder's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wunder sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Inkive sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Inkive holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Wunder's written reviews are positive against 71% of Inkive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Wunder ships an update daily, Inkive weekly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
