Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: WASH at free against PayRange's free with in-app purchases. WASH also leads on review sentiment (24% vs 13%) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). PayRange's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PayRange holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 221K and 191K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of PayRange's written reviews are positive against 24% of WASH's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PayRange ships an update every 2 months, WASH every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
