Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
mInventory app holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chirp Access has 655 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Chirp Access's written reviews are positive against 0% of mInventory app's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
