Verdict
CPU Identifier and System Utilities both sit at 3.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 78% of CPU Identifier's written reviews are positive against 43% of System Utilities's. CPU Identifier also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and device support (5 vs 3). System Utilities's advantage is ratings volume (278 vs 7) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

System Utilities holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: System Utilities has 278 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of CPU Identifier's written reviews are positive against 43% of System Utilities's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CPU Identifier ships an update every 2 days, System Utilities every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
