ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MQTTAnalyzer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MQTTAnalyzer has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of MQTTAnalyzer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Glamox Wireless ZigBee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MQTTAnalyzer ships an update every 5 days, Glamox Wireless ZigBee every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
