# SQLed vs SQLiteFlow

The clearest difference is price: SQLiteFlow at Free against SQLed's $1.99. SQLiteFlow also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). SQLed's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 51%). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

SQLiteFlow is free to download; SQLed costs $1.99 up front. SQLed sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SQLiteFlow sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SQLiteFlow holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 49 and 49 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of SQLed's written reviews are positive against 51% of SQLiteFlow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SQLed ships an update every 2 months, SQLiteFlow fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 7, 2026.
