# Inventory Now vs Skyvault

The clearest difference is ads: Inventory Now at none against Skyvault's shown. Inventory Now also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (694 vs 3). Skyvault's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inventory Now sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month and Skyvault sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Skyvault holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inventory Now has 694 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Inventory Now's written reviews are positive against 100% of Skyvault's.

Inventory Now ships an update every 5 days, Skyvault every 21 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
