ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Thirdlane Connect holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NinjaOne Mobile has 73 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Thirdlane Connect's written reviews are positive against 22% of NinjaOne Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
