# Skillshare vs Twisted Clay

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Twisted Clay at 100% against Skillshare's 62%. Twisted Clay also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Skillshare's advantage is ratings volume (25K vs 30) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). 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 Twisted Clay sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Twisted Clay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skillshare has 25K ratings behind it against 30, 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 100% of Twisted Clay's.

Skillshare ships an update every 10 days, Twisted Clay monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
