BerkNow holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Valley Bank has 2.2K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Valley Bank's written reviews are positive against 33% of BerkNow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Valley Bank ships an update every 4 months, BerkNow monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
