MCS holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VideoLink has 41 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of MCS's written reviews are positive against 5% of VideoLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MCS ships an update every 4 weeks, VideoLink monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
