# Cheatsheet vs Shelly Home

The clearest difference is rating: Cheatsheet at 4.7 against Shelly Home's 4.2. Cheatsheet also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 10). Shelly Home's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cheatsheet sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Shelly Home sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cheatsheet holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cheatsheet has 1.9K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Cheatsheet's written reviews are positive against 88% of Shelly Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
