ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fireblocks holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fireblocks has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Fireblocks's written reviews are positive against 100% of Utila's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fireblocks ships an update fortnightly, Utila every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
