# WordHub vs Pangram

The clearest difference is rating: Pangram at 4.7 against WordHub's 3.4. Pangram also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 99) and review sentiment (61% vs 49%). WordHub's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WordHub sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Pangram sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 2 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pangram holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pangram has 4.4K ratings behind it against 99, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of WordHub's written reviews are positive against 61% of Pangram's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
