Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Groundwork holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lookout CU has 442 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Lookout CU's written reviews are positive against 0% of Groundwork's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lookout CU ships an update fortnightly, Groundwork every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
