Verdict

The call

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.

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
