ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

eCebuana holds the better App Store score, 1.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eCebuana has 32 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of eCebuana's written reviews are positive against 3% of CitySavings Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

eCebuana ships an update every 2 months, CitySavings Mobile every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
