Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Data Modeler at Free against SQLed's $1.99. Data Modeler also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). SQLed's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 5) and chart position (#52 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Data Modeler is free to download; SQLed costs $1.99 up front. SQLed sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Data Modeler sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Data Modeler holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SQLed has 49 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of SQLed's written reviews are positive against 55% of Data Modeler'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, Data Modeler every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
