# M Tool vs mySolarEdge

The clearest difference is rating: mySolarEdge at 4.5 against M Tool's 3.0. mySolarEdge also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 2). M Tool's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 31%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

mySolarEdge holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mySolarEdge has 19K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of M Tool's written reviews are positive against 31% of mySolarEdge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
