# MyDive vs Skyduck

The clearest difference is rating: Skyduck at 4.8 against MyDive's 3.0. Skyduck also leads on ratings volume (175 vs 1). MyDive's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Skyduck sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. MyDive asks for nothing beyond the download.

Skyduck holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Skyduck has 175 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of MyDive's written reviews are positive against 80% of Skyduck's.

MyDive ships an update every 4 days, Skyduck every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
