# Skylight App vs AttendLive

The clearest difference is rating: Skylight App at 4.8 against AttendLive's 4.3. Skylight App also leads on ratings volume (52K vs 12) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). AttendLive's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 69%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skylight App sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and AttendLive sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $64.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Skylight App holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skylight App has 52K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Skylight App's written reviews are positive against 89% of AttendLive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Skylight App ships an update weekly, AttendLive every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
