# Sky Replacement vs Sky Editor

The clearest difference is rating: Sky Editor at 4.5 against Sky Replacement's 3.5. Sky Editor also leads on ratings volume (257 vs 23). Sky Replacement's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sky Editor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Sky Replacement asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sky Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sky Editor has 257 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Sky Replacement's written reviews are positive against 25% of Sky Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sky Replacement ships an update weekly, Sky Editor every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
