ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Units holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Units has 262 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Units's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pilot ToolBox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Units ships an update every 5 weeks, Pilot ToolBox every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
