Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Schedule Anyone at 81% against Salon Booking Appointments's 0%. Schedule Anyone also leads on ratings volume (397 vs 14) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Salon Booking Appointments's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Salon Booking Appointments sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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

Salon Booking Appointments holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Schedule Anyone has 397 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Salon Booking Appointments'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

Salon Booking Appointments ships an update every 2 weeks, Schedule Anyone every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
