Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SGMC SES at 2.8 against VelocityEHS®'s 1.6. SGMC SES also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (9.1 vs 13.0). VelocityEHS®'s advantage is ratings volume (150 vs 9). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SGMC SES holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VelocityEHS® has 150 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of SGMC SES's written reviews are positive against 7% of VelocityEHS®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SGMC SES ships an update every 10 days, VelocityEHS® monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
