ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Transact eAccounts holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transact eAccounts has 49K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of DukeMobile's written reviews are positive against 40% of Transact eAccounts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

DukeMobile ships an update every 2 months, Transact eAccounts monthly. The most recent releases landed on August 1, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
