ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Encompass LO holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LendingPad has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of LendingPad's written reviews are positive against 0% of Encompass LO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LendingPad ships an update every 4 months, Encompass LO every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
