# Sked vs Sheefts

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sheefts at 100% against Sked's 50%. Sheefts also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and rating (4.0 vs 3.7). Sked's advantage is ratings volume (164 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sked sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Sheefts sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sheefts holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sked has 164 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Sked's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sheefts's.

Sked ships an update every 2 months, Sheefts every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 3, 2026.
