ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BlueDiamond™ Toolkit holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splan has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Splan's written reviews are positive against 0% of BlueDiamond™ Toolkit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Splan ships an update every 6 weeks, BlueDiamond™ Toolkit every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
