ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Basil Backoffice holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IRIS CRM has 17 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of IRIS CRM's written reviews are positive against 0% of Basil Backoffice's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IRIS CRM ships an update every 2 months, Basil Backoffice every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 21, 2026 and September 6, 2026 respectively.
