Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GroomLog at 100% against Setmore Appointment Scheduling's 65%. Setmore Appointment Scheduling's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (9.4K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Setmore Appointment Scheduling sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and GroomLog sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Setmore Appointment Scheduling holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Setmore Appointment Scheduling has 9.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Setmore Appointment Scheduling's written reviews are positive against 100% of GroomLog's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Setmore Appointment Scheduling ships an update every 4 days, GroomLog every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
