Sway helps dancers, choreographers, and coaches plan formations, preview transitions, and keep every routine organized on iPhone and iPad. PLAN YOUR FORMATIONS Place dancers on a stage grid and build your routine formation by formation. Adjust positions and spacing so everyone knows where to go.

Explore the production library for chairs, benches, risers, and more, then arrange the space around your performance. BRING YOUR MOVEMENT TO LIFE Start with a video of one dancer and create a 3D motion. Preview it in your Motion Library and use it on stage to see movement alongside your formations. TIME EVERY TRANSITION Set formation and transition durations, then play through the sequence. Follow how dancers move from one position to the next before rehearsal.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ArrangeUs at 80% against Sway's 0%. ArrangeUs also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 5). Sway's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. ArrangeUs sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Sway sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ArrangeUs holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArrangeUs has 4.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ArrangeUs ships an update every 3 weeks, Sway weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
