Empeople CU holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Empeople CU has 11K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Empeople CU's written reviews are positive against 75% of Cornwell Tools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Empeople CU ships an update every 3 weeks, Cornwell Tools every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
