Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RealStaff at 4.7 against MAESTRA's 3.3. RealStaff also leads on ratings volume (4K vs 18) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). MAESTRA's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 41%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RealStaff holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RealStaff has 4K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of RealStaff's written reviews are positive against 67% of MAESTRA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RealStaff ships an update fortnightly, MAESTRA every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
