BigM Mobile App holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PAR OPS has 309 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of BigM Mobile App's written reviews are positive against 7% of PAR OPS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BigM Mobile App ships an update every 12 months, PAR OPS monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
