# SchedulePT vs Holdshort

The clearest difference is rating: Holdshort at 2.5 against SchedulePT's 2.1. SchedulePT's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Holdshort holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 36 and 20 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of SchedulePT's written reviews are positive against 17% of Holdshort's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SchedulePT ships an update every 3 weeks, Holdshort every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
