Mac Tools Smart Tools holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mac Tools Smart Tools has 67 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Mac Tools Smart Tools's written reviews are positive against 50% of Milwaukee® Heated Gear's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mac Tools Smart Tools ships an update every 2 months, Milwaukee® Heated Gear every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
