# MyChair vs SalonScale Classic

The clearest difference is rating: MyChair at 4.5 against SalonScale Classic's 2.9. MyChair also leads on ratings volume (433 vs 24). SalonScale Classic's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyChair sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. SalonScale Classic asks for nothing beyond the download.

MyChair holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyChair has 433 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of MyChair's written reviews are positive against 44% of SalonScale Classic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MyChair ships an update fortnightly, SalonScale Classic every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
