# SMS Scheduler vs Reply Later

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reply Later at 100% against SMS Scheduler's 24%. Reply Later also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). SMS Scheduler's advantage is ratings volume (991 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SMS Scheduler sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Reply Later asks for nothing beyond the download.

Reply Later holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7.
