Both are free to download. SQLite Mobile Client sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PortX asks for nothing beyond the download.
SQLite Mobile Client holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SQLite Mobile Client has 196 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of SQLite Mobile Client's written reviews are positive against 73% of PortX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SQLite Mobile Client ships an update every 4 weeks, PortX monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
