# Pro SMS Scheduler vs Scheduled

The clearest difference is monetization model: Scheduled at free with in-app purchases against Pro SMS Scheduler's subscription. Scheduled also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 17) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Pro SMS Scheduler's advantage is rating (3.4 vs 2.8) and review sentiment (39% vs 10%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pro SMS Scheduler sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Scheduled sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pro SMS Scheduler holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scheduled has 1.3K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of Pro SMS Scheduler's written reviews are positive against 10% of Scheduled's.

Pro SMS Scheduler ships an update fortnightly, Scheduled every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
