# Nail Tech Manager vs Schedule Anyone

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Schedule Anyone at 81% against Nail Tech Manager's 20%. Schedule Anyone also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Nail Tech Manager's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nail Tech Manager sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $10.99 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.

Schedule Anyone holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Schedule Anyone has 397 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Nail Tech Manager's written reviews are positive against 81% of Schedule Anyone's.
