Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ServiceDesk Plus | Cloud at 4.4 against SAP Business One's 1.9. ServiceDesk Plus | Cloud also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (217 vs 21). SAP Business One's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (38% vs 14%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ServiceDesk Plus | Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ServiceDesk Plus | Cloud has 217 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of SAP Business One's written reviews are positive against 14% of ServiceDesk Plus | Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SAP Business One ships an update every 6 months, ServiceDesk Plus | Cloud every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
