ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Heritage Power holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spectrum HOA has 321 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Spectrum HOA's written reviews are positive against 0% of Heritage Power's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Spectrum HOA ships an update every 2 months, Heritage Power monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
