Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
First Due Mobile holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: First Due Mobile has 835 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of PSAware's written reviews are positive against 18% of First Due Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
