ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Orient Smart holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Orient Smart's written reviews are positive against 17% of PSCA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Orient Smart ships an update every 12 months, PSCA every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
