The TexasET app calculates the water requirements for crops based upon the growth stage selected. It uses real-time weather data from stations on the TexasET Network (texasET.tamu.edu). Water requirements may be determined for one day or up to 14 days. Rainfall at the selected weather station is automatically included in the calculations, but can be modified if local amounts are different. Weekly reminders of irrigation recommendations may be set up.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Guidepoint at 4.8 against TexasET's 3.0. My Guidepoint also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). TexasET's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 24%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
My Guidepoint holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Guidepoint has 1.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of My Guidepoint's written reviews are positive against 50% of TexasET's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Guidepoint ships an update every 3 weeks, TexasET every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
