# Scheduled vs ChatReminder

The clearest difference is price: Scheduled at Free against ChatReminder's $2.99. Scheduled also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 4) and review sentiment (10% vs 0%). ChatReminder's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 2.8) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Scheduled is free to download; ChatReminder costs $2.99 up front. Scheduled sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. ChatReminder asks for nothing beyond the download.

ChatReminder holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scheduled has 1.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Scheduled's written reviews are positive against 0% of ChatReminder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Scheduled ships an update every 3 weeks, ChatReminder every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
