Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: InPlay at 4.5 against ShemarooMe's 2.4. InPlay also leads on ratings volume (404 vs 114). ShemarooMe's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 27%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ShemarooMe sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and InPlay sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

InPlay holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 114 and 404 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of ShemarooMe's written reviews are positive against 27% of InPlay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ShemarooMe ships an update every 5 weeks, InPlay every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
