# CallPlease vs PhoneSlate

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PhoneSlate at 80% against CallPlease's 36%. PhoneSlate also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). CallPlease's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

CallPlease holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PhoneSlate has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of CallPlease's written reviews are positive against 80% of PhoneSlate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CallPlease ships an update every 3 weeks, PhoneSlate every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
