MG Logistics holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MG Logistics has 273 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of PCS Mobile TMS's written reviews are positive against 0% of MG Logistics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PCS Mobile TMS ships an update monthly, MG Logistics every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
