ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyUsage Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyUsage Mobile has 14K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of MyUsage Mobile's written reviews are positive against 100% of Jackson Energy Authority's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MyUsage Mobile ships an update every 5 weeks, Jackson Energy Authority monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
