Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WISCO holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 511 Wisconsin has 81 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of WISCO's written reviews are positive against 4% of 511 Wisconsin's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WISCO ships an update every 6 months, 511 Wisconsin every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
