Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Applied Bank Business Mobile holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: First Progress has 149 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Applied Bank Business Mobile's written reviews are positive against 6% of First Progress's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Applied Bank Business Mobile ships an update every 6 months, First Progress monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
