Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Swipecast at none against ShowingUp's 1. Swipecast also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (308 vs 6). ShowingUp's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support 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. ShowingUp sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Swipecast asks for nothing beyond the download.
Swipecast holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swipecast has 308 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Swipecast's written reviews are positive against 100% of ShowingUp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Swipecast ships an update every 2 weeks, ShowingUp fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
