# Waaaaay! vs Toward

The clearest difference is rating: Toward at 5.0 against Waaaaay!'s 4.3. Toward also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Waaaaay!'s advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Waaaaay! sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Toward sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Toward holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Waaaaay!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Toward's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Waaaaay! ships an update fortnightly, Toward every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
