# Apple Developer vs Swifter for SwiftUI

The clearest difference is rating: Apple Developer at 4.0 against Swifter for SwiftUI's 3.1. Apple Developer also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 9) and chart position (#7 vs #97). Swifter for SwiftUI's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 35%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Apple Developer sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per month and Swifter for SwiftUI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Apple Developer holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Apple Developer has 2.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Apple Developer's written reviews are positive against 67% of Swifter for SwiftUI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Apple Developer ships an update every 2 months, Swifter for SwiftUI weekly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
