# ServerCat vs Docker Management

The clearest difference is rating: ServerCat at 4.6 against Docker Management's 3.0. ServerCat also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 40%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). Docker Management's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ServerCat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year and Docker Management sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ServerCat holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ServerCat has 996 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of ServerCat's written reviews are positive against 40% of Docker Management's.

ServerCat ships an update every 5 days, Docker Management monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
