ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TradePending holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VinSolutions has 551 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of VinSolutions's written reviews are positive against 0% of TradePending's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

VinSolutions ships an update weekly, TradePending every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 22, 2026 respectively.
