# Schema vs Basepanel

The clearest difference is update cadence: Schema at every 2 days against Basepanel's every 2 weeks. Schema also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 2). Basepanel's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Schema sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Basepanel sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Basepanel holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Schema has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Schema ships an update every 2 days, Basepanel every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
