Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: DaySmart Spa Software at 4.9 against Schedule Anyone's 4.6. DaySmart Spa Software also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Schedule Anyone's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 62%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DaySmart Spa Software sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month and Schedule Anyone sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DaySmart Spa Software holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 269 and 397 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of DaySmart Spa Software's written reviews are positive against 81% of Schedule Anyone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DaySmart Spa Software ships an update every 3 weeks, Schedule Anyone every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
