# xAR vs 왓챠

The clearest difference is rating: 왓챠 at 4.6 against xAR's 3.1. 왓챠 also leads on ratings volume (3.1K vs 17) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). xAR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 왓챠 sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. xAR asks for nothing beyond the download.

왓챠 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 왓챠 has 3.1K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of xAR's written reviews are positive against 37% of 왓챠's.

xAR ships an update every 2 weeks, 왓챠 every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
