MCE Sync holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MCE Sync has 198 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Engage Pittsburg's written reviews are positive against 38% of MCE Sync's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Engage Pittsburg ships an update every 8 months, MCE Sync every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
