# Masters Pro vs Square Appointments

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Square Appointments at none against Masters Pro's 6. Square Appointments also leads on ratings volume (195K vs 785) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Masters Pro's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 69%) and chart position (#192 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Masters Pro sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $23.99 per month. Square Appointments asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Masters Pro against 4.9 for Square Appointments. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Square Appointments has 195K ratings behind it against 785, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 92% of Masters Pro's written reviews are positive against 69% of Square Appointments's.

Masters Pro ships an update fortnightly, Square Appointments every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
