# MyChair vs Nail Tech Manager

The clearest difference is rating: MyChair at 4.5 against Nail Tech Manager's 2.0. MyChair also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (430 vs 4). Nail Tech Manager's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases 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 and Nail Tech Manager sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $10.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MyChair holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyChair has 430 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of MyChair's written reviews are positive against 20% of Nail Tech Manager's.

MyChair ships an update fortnightly, Nail Tech Manager every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
