# Sci vs ShootOnTime

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ShootOnTime at 1.1K against Sci's 13. ShootOnTime also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Sci's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Sci against 4.9 for ShootOnTime. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ShootOnTime has 1.1K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Sci's written reviews are positive against 90% of ShootOnTime's.

Sci ships an update monthly, ShootOnTime weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
