ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RMS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RotaCloud has 64 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of RotaCloud's written reviews are positive against 0% of RMS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RotaCloud ships an update weekly, RMS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
