# MySwimPro vs Python PTS

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Python PTS at 100% against MySwimPro's 37%. Python PTS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). MySwimPro's advantage is ratings volume (5.9K vs 9) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MySwimPro sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.00 per month and Python PTS sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Python PTS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MySwimPro has 5.9K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 37% of MySwimPro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Python PTS's.

MySwimPro ships an update weekly, Python PTS every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
