Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NumberBox at 61% against EDIFICE Connected's 40%. NumberBox also leads on chart position (#84 vs unranked). EDIFICE Connected's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EDIFICE Connected holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 588 and 547 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of EDIFICE Connected's written reviews are positive against 61% of NumberBox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
