# FaceCall vs SkyDuo

The clearest difference is update cadence: FaceCall at every 2 days against SkyDuo's every 11 days. SkyDuo's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FaceCall sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SkyDuo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SkyDuo holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.3K and 2K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of FaceCall's written reviews are positive against 78% of SkyDuo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FaceCall ships an update every 2 days, SkyDuo every 11 days. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
