AirCheck BLE holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SofaBaton has 298 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of SofaBaton's written reviews are positive against 33% of AirCheck BLE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SofaBaton ships an update every 2 weeks, AirCheck BLE fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
