# Skillshare vs Wingfox

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Skillshare at 62% against Wingfox's 19%. Skillshare also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.2) and ratings volume (25K vs 11). Wingfox's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skillshare sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $18.99 per month and Wingfox sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Skillshare holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skillshare has 25K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Skillshare's written reviews are positive against 19% of Wingfox's.

Skillshare ships an update every 10 days, Wingfox every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
