ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Case holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Case has 25 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Barely safe's written reviews are positive against 34% of Case's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Barely safe ships an update every 2 months, Case every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
