ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Datasite holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Datasite has 174 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Drooms's written reviews are positive against 98% of Datasite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Drooms ships an update every 3 weeks, Datasite monthly. Both last shipped on October 4, 2026.
