ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

openHAB holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Passwords for Nextcloud has 20 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Passwords for Nextcloud's written reviews are positive against 33% of openHAB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Passwords for Nextcloud ships an update every 2 months, openHAB every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
