Paxton Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paxton Connect has 825 ratings behind it against 79, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Paxton Connect's written reviews are positive against 30% of AXIS Camera Station Edge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Paxton Connect ships an update every 3 months, AXIS Camera Station Edge every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
