ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Probuild (App for Contractors) holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Probuild (App for Contractors) has 399 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Probuild (App for Contractors)'s written reviews are positive against 100% of AddWork's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Probuild (App for Contractors) ships an update every 4 weeks, AddWork every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
