Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SitterTree LLC at 72% against Obra's 25%. SitterTree LLC also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 77). Obra's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Obra holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SitterTree LLC has 1.2K ratings behind it against 77, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of SitterTree LLC's written reviews are positive against 25% of Obra's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SitterTree LLC ships an update weekly, Obra every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 6, 2026 respectively.
