# SwiftServer vs Monito

The clearest difference is rating: Monito at 5.0 against SwiftServer's 4.4. Monito also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 87%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). SwiftServer's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 2) and chart position (#173 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SwiftServer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Monito sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Monito holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SwiftServer has 31 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of SwiftServer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Monito's.

SwiftServer ships an update every 9 days, Monito fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
