Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Wave at 4.4 against FleetLobby's 3.0. Wave also leads on ratings volume (6.7K vs 2) and chart position (#59 vs unranked). FleetLobby's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wave sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.00 per month. FleetLobby asks for nothing beyond the download.
Wave holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wave has 6.7K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
