# SidePilot vs websight

The clearest difference is price: websight at Free against SidePilot's $13.99. websight also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.0). SidePilot's advantage is ratings volume (107 vs 8) and chart position (#101 vs unranked). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

websight is free to download; SidePilot costs $13.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

websight holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SidePilot has 107 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of SidePilot's written reviews are positive against 50% of websight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SidePilot ships an update every 6 weeks, websight every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
