LTB Solar holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 14% of SolarMate's written reviews are positive against 0% of LTB Solar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SolarMate ships an update every 2 months, LTB Solar every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
