# Dash Up! vs Wave Dash

The clearest difference is rating: Wave Dash at 4.6 against Dash Up!'s 4.1. Wave Dash also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 12) and review sentiment (84% vs 72%). Dash Up!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.1 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dash Up! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Wave Dash sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wave Dash holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1.
