ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SWE Events holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SWE Events has 114 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Baja SAE's written reviews are positive against 25% of SWE Events's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Baja SAE ships an update every 4 months, SWE Events every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
