Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DeskFlex holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Newforma has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Newforma's written reviews are positive against 0% of DeskFlex's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Newforma ships an update every 2 months, DeskFlex monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
