# Scheduled vs NURU

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NURU at 100% against Scheduled's 10%. NURU also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.8). Scheduled's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scheduled sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and NURU sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NURU holds the better App Store score, 5.0 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 point the same way: 10% of Scheduled's written reviews are positive against 100% of NURU's.

Scheduled ships an update every 3 weeks, NURU every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
