# ShellBean vs Docker Management

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ShellBean at 86% against Docker Management's 40%. ShellBean also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ShellBean sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month 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.

ShellBean holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ShellBean has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of ShellBean's written reviews are positive against 40% of Docker Management's.

ShellBean ships an update every 6 days, Docker Management monthly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
