Verdict
The clearest difference is price: YMSL at Free against Sign Up by SignUp.com's $1.99. YMSL also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 23). Sign Up by SignUp.com's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 17%) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
YMSL is free to download; Sign Up by SignUp.com costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
YMSL holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YMSL has 1.5K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Sign Up by SignUp.com's written reviews are positive against 17% of YMSL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sign Up by SignUp.com ships an update every 3 months, YMSL every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
