ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SimplyBook.me admin holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SimplyBook.me admin has 128 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of SimplyBook.me admin's written reviews are positive against 40% of Vev Booking Software's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SimplyBook.me admin ships an update every 2 months, Vev Booking Software every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
