Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: mySolarEdge at 19K against Onbox's 27. mySolarEdge also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Onbox's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 31%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Onbox against 4.5 for mySolarEdge. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mySolarEdge has 19K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of Onbox's written reviews are positive against 31% of mySolarEdge's.
Onbox ships an update every 6 weeks, mySolarEdge every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
