ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Softzoo Inventory Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Portable Inventory has 220 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Portable Inventory's written reviews are positive against 67% of Softzoo Inventory Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Portable Inventory ships an update every 3 weeks, Softzoo Inventory Tracker fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
