Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rankade at 75% against PagerDuty's 25%. Rankade also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). PagerDuty's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PagerDuty holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PagerDuty has 5.2K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of PagerDuty's written reviews are positive against 75% of Rankade's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PagerDuty ships an update weekly, Rankade every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
