Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Gatewise Multifamily at 2.8 against PalGate's 2.4. Gatewise Multifamily also leads on ratings volume (307 vs 11) and chart position (#205 vs unranked). PalGate's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gatewise Multifamily holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gatewise Multifamily has 307 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Gatewise Multifamily's written reviews are positive against 30% of PalGate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Gatewise Multifamily ships an update every 2 months, PalGate every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
