Verdict
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.
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.
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.
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.
