Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: iStatistica at none against SYSMonitor's shown. iStatistica also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). SYSMonitor's advantage is rating (3.6 vs 3.2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SYSMonitor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and iStatistica sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SYSMonitor holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 38 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of SYSMonitor's written reviews are positive against 42% of iStatistica's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SYSMonitor ships an update every 5 months, iStatistica every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
