# Pickle Teams vs PlayTime Scheduler

The clearest difference is price: PlayTime Scheduler at Free against Pickle Teams's $1.99. PlayTime Scheduler also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (254 vs 1). Pickle Teams's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 86%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

PlayTime Scheduler is free to download; Pickle Teams costs $1.99 up front. PlayTime Scheduler sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year. Pickle Teams asks for nothing beyond the download.

PlayTime Scheduler holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PlayTime Scheduler has 254 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pickle Teams's written reviews are positive against 86% of PlayTime Scheduler's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
