ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CALECO CleanMobile holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CALECO CleanMobile has 4.7K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of CALECO CleanMobile's written reviews are positive against 100% of TLE® Access's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CALECO CleanMobile ships an update every 5 months, TLE® Access every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
