# Synq vs Wakup!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Synq at 100% against Wakup!'s 50%. Synq also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Wakup!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (304 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Synq sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Wakup! sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Synq holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wakup! has 304 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
