Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Socket Mobile Companion at 3.8 against PremierPro's 1.0. Socket Mobile Companion also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (96 vs 15). PremierPro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (11% vs 0%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Socket Mobile Companion sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $5.99 per month. PremierPro asks for nothing beyond the download.
Socket Mobile Companion holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Socket Mobile Companion has 96 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Socket Mobile Companion's written reviews are positive against 11% of PremierPro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Socket Mobile Companion ships an update every 4 months, PremierPro every 29 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
