Easily manage your servers and sites through your mobile phone! What permissions does this app require and why? *Internet connection* Obviously, we need an active internet connection to retrieve data. *Push notifications* This is optional, if you allow push notifications you can set up the channels inside your Ploi account to get push notifications on deploys for example. *Haptic feedback* When you're using pull to refresh, we send out a little signal to your haptic feedback engine so you get a better feeling of when you've pulled far enough, and once its done. *Biometrics* You can protect your app by using Face ID or Touch ID.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ploi at 5.0 against Capacities's 4.3. Ploi also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). Capacities's advantage is ratings volume (114 vs 3) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
