Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Trellis Dashboard at 3.8 against MATLAB Mobile's 3.2. Trellis Dashboard also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). MATLAB Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (36% vs 0%) and ratings volume (179 vs 12). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Trellis Dashboard holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MATLAB Mobile has 179 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of MATLAB Mobile's written reviews are positive against 0% of Trellis Dashboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MATLAB Mobile ships an update every 3 months, Trellis Dashboard every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
