Monitor and control the MP8000 Bluetooth® Overload Relay on your Apple® device. Use the MP8000 app to configure the relay, view real-time data, and troubleshoot fault codes via a Bluetooth interface in the relay. No need to open the control panel. Keeping the panel door closed, keeps workers safer from the dangers of arc flash. The app has a range of 30 feet so workers can stay far away from the panel and can even stay in their vehicle in remote applications. * Easily pair multiple MP8000 Relays to your Apple® device * Stand next to the motor or pump – not the relay – to monitor equipment startup on new installations * Improve safety: monitor your motor or pump from 30 feet away * Reduce set up time with less wiring PAIRING Pairing is safe and secure. Pair with Apple® iPhone® or iPad® (version 7.0 and higher) smartphone or tablet. A unique pairing code is printed on the side label found on the MP8000 relay. MP8000 RELAY The MP8000 enhanced overload relay protects any motor drawing 0.5-1,000 full load Amps (external CTs are required above 100 Amps). It is designed for single or 3-phase systems with operating voltages of 90-690 VAC (use of external potential transformers can extend upper voltage range above 690 VAC). Common applications include conveyor systems, HVAC equipment, saws and grinders, fan motors, and almost any pumping application. PROTECTION FROM * Overload (Overpower) * Underload (Underpower) * Overcurrent/Jam * Undercurrent * Current Unbalance * Phase Loss * Phase Reversal * Overvoltage * Undervoltage * Voltage Unbalance * Rapid Cycling/Jog * Contactor Failure * Zero-Sequence Ground Fault * PTC Motor Overtemperature WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING “This is a HUGE opportunity. During a new installation, I can be right next to the motor at start up to see if it’s binding (or other problems) and shut it off immediately”

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Drivetune at 4.0 against MP8000's 3.0. Drivetune also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). MP8000's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 40%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Drivetune holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Drivetune's written reviews are positive against 50% of MP8000's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Drivetune ships an update every 2 months, MP8000 every 8 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
