Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Intercom Anywhere holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intercom Anywhere has 83 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Intercom Anywhere's written reviews are positive against 20% of Savant Power Storage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Intercom Anywhere ships an update every 3 months, Savant Power Storage every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
