# CTA Dex vs SkyStats

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CTA Dex at 94% against SkyStats's 38%. CTA Dex also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.1) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 31). SkyStats's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CTA Dex sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. SkyStats asks for nothing beyond the download.

CTA Dex holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CTA Dex has 1.2K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of CTA Dex's written reviews are positive against 38% of SkyStats's.

CTA Dex ships an update every 9 days, SkyStats every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
