# Skaffer vs Payments Manager

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Skaffer at 79% against Payments Manager's 25%. Skaffer also leads on ratings volume (90 vs 7) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.6). Payments Manager's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skaffer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Payments Manager sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Payments Manager holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skaffer has 90 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Skaffer's written reviews are positive against 25% of Payments Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
