ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hercules CyclePay holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hercules CyclePay has 2.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Hercules CyclePay's written reviews are positive against 50% of Mobile NR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
