ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ServiceM8 Phone holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simpro Mobile has 104 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Simpro Mobile's written reviews are positive against 25% of ServiceM8 Phone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Simpro Mobile ships an update every 10 days, ServiceM8 Phone every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
