# WayPoint vs Planytera

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WayPoint at none against Planytera's 10. WayPoint also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). Planytera's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planytera sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. WayPoint asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for WayPoint against 5.0 for Planytera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WayPoint has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WayPoint ships an update every 3 days, Planytera weekly. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
