ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BluVac holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amply Heat Pump Copilot has 21 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of BluVac's written reviews are positive against 89% of Amply Heat Pump Copilot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BluVac ships an update every 2 months, Amply Heat Pump Copilot every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
