Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BuildingLink Resident App at 4.6 against mySALONapp's 2.3. BuildingLink Resident App also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). mySALONapp's advantage is review sentiment (39% vs 19%) and iOS requirement (11 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BuildingLink Resident App holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BuildingLink Resident App has 2.1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of BuildingLink Resident App's written reviews are positive against 39% of mySALONapp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BuildingLink Resident App ships an update every 3 weeks, mySALONapp every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
