Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BMS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SolarPower Wi has 35 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of SolarPower Wi's written reviews are positive against 20% of BMS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SolarPower Wi ships an update every 3 months, BMS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
