# Cloud Softphone vs Skylar

The clearest difference is rating: Skylar at 4.0 against Cloud Softphone's 3.5. Skylar also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Cloud Softphone's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (77 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cloud Softphone sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Skylar sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Skylar holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloud Softphone has 77 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Cloud Softphone ships an update weekly, Skylar every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
